本文分析了自然灾害对儿童教育和健康的短期和长期后果。特别关注的是，使用超级台风造成的房屋损坏作为代理的家庭特质冲击的变化。依靠个人面板数据和设置中，台风是一个相对罕见的事件，我们发现负面和持久的影响，对儿童的教育，但对儿童的健康没有影响。对教育的影响可能是由于父母为科普台风破坏的经济后果而改变了投资。亚组分析表明，对于女孩、没有哥哥姐姐的儿童、贫困家庭的儿童以及没有强大家庭或社会网络的家庭来说，结果更为明显。(C)2015 Elsevier B.V.版权所有。
This paper analyzes the short- and long-run consequences of a natural disaster on children's education and health. The particular focus lies on variation in idiosyncratic shocks to households using housing damages caused by a super typhoon as a proxy. Relying on individual panel data and a setting in which typhoons are a relatively rare event, we find negative and persistent effects on children's education but no effects on children's health. Effects on education are likely driven by a shift in parental investments made to cope with the economic consequences of typhoon damages. Subgroup analysis suggests that results are stronger for girls, children with no older siblings, children from poor families, and families with no strong family or social network.
