我们使用巴西的关联行政记录来估计孕产妇固定效应规范，研究孕产妇登革热感染对出生结果的影响。与之前的研究相比，我们发现了强有力的证据证明登革热感染对出生体重（BW）有负面影响。这种影响在 BW 分布的较低部分尤其明显，低、极低和极低 BW 分别增加了 15%、67% 和 133%。我们还记录了儿童出生后三年内的住院治疗和医疗支出大幅增加。 （JEL I12、I18、J13、J16、O15）
We study the effect of maternal dengue infections on birth outcomes using linked administrative records from Brazil estimating maternal fixed-effect specifications. In contrast to previous studies, we find robust evidence for the negative effect of dengue infections on birth weight (BW). The effect is particularly pronounced at lower parts of the BW distribution, with an increase of 15 percent, 67 percent, and 133 percent for low, very low, and extremely low BW, respectively. We also document large increases in children’s hospitalizations and medical expenditures for up to three years after birth. (JEL I12, I18, J13, J16, O15)
