本文利用来自布基纳法索盘尾丝虫病（河盲症）控制的数据，探讨了热带病在农村人口和土地使用权中的作用。我们将一项新的乡村老年人调查与1975-2006年的历史人口普查数据以及区域盘尾丝虫病控制规划（OCP）下的治疗地理编码地图结合起来。OCP从1975年运行到2002年，首先向河流喷洒以阻止传播，然后分发药物帮助那些已经感染的人。在控制时间和村庄固定效应的情况下，我们发现治理区域的村庄人口更多，耕地交易也更多，耕地交易所需的许可证更少，对共有财产牧场和森林的监管更多。这些效应对于大量的控制和跨样本异质性测试是稳健的，包括时变区域固定效应。描述性统计数字表明，接受治疗的村庄也更容易获得电力和电话服务、市场、水井和小学，在其他几个变量方面没有差别。这些结果与生产力的变化和人口规模对公共机构的影响是一致的。
This paper addresses the role of tropical disease in rural demography and land use rights, using data from Onchocerciasis (river blindness) control in Burkina Faso. We combine a new survey of village elders with historical census data for 1975–2006 and geocoded maps of treatment under the regional Onchocerciasis Control Program (OCP). The OCP ran from 1975 to 2002, first spraying rivers to stop transmission and then distributing medicine to help those already infected. Controlling for time and village fixed effects, we find that villages in treated areas acquired larger populations and also had more cropland transactions, fewer permits required for cropland transactions, and more regulation of common property pasture and forest. These effects are robust to numerous controls and tests for heterogeneity across the sample, including time-varying region fixed effects. Descriptive statistics suggest that treated villages also acquired closer access to electricity and telephone service, markets, wells and primary schools, with no difference in several other variables. These results are consistent with both changes in productivity and effects of population size on public institutions.
