| This paper examines the separate impacts of early childhood nutrition and current health problems on academic achievement. Previous research has only considered either the impact of nutrition or specific health problems on academic achievement. This is the first paper to consider both measures of health in a comprehensive way. A unique cross-section dataset of grade 4 students in Sri Lanka allows one to creatively deal with endogeneity issues stemming from missing variable bias. Specifically, controlling for school heterogeneity and parental taste for education the results show that children affected by hearing problems, intestinal worms and early childhood malnutrition have significantly lower cognitive skills. These results are robust to conditioning... |

| This report summarizes the economic and fiscal impacts of the Greenville Hospital System (GHS) on Greenville County and the South Carolina Upstate (Greenville, Anderson, Laurens, Oconee, Pickens and Spartanburg counties). In 2000, GHS had operating revenues, net of adjustments for charity and negotiated charges, of $606 million and had 8,211 employees on the payroll for at least part of the year. GHS also generates significant economic impacts from purchases of supplies, equipment, and utilities; from construction of new facilities; from local spending by GHS employees; and from local expenditures by visitors to the GHS patients and by students at GHS training programs. Moreover, GHS payroll and expenditures result in local "multiplier" effects in the... |

| The paper analyzes 141 villages in Matlab, Bangladesh from 1974 to 1996, in which half the villages received from 1977 to 1996 a door-to-door outreach family planning and maternal-child health program. Village and individual data confirm a decline in fertility of about 15 percent in the program villages compared with the control villages by 1982, as others have noted, which persists until 1996. The consequences of the program on a series of long run family welfare outcomes are then estimated in addition to fertility: women's health, earnings and household assets, use of preventive health inputs, and finally the inter-generational effects on the health and schooling of the woman's children. Within two decades many of these indicators of the welfare of... |
