چکیده انگلیسی


- We estimate the persistent effects of fetal influenza exposure on children's growth.
- A nationwide longitudinal physical examination dataset of children is used.
- The bilateral-specific fixed effects approach is employed to identify the effects.
- The children born in 1919-1920 were shorter than those in surrounding cohorts.
- The persistent effects on children's development seems to exhibit gender differences.

In this study, we estimate the persistent effects of fetal exposure to the 1918-1920 influenza pandemic of Japan on the physical development of primary school children. By using a unique nationwide longitudinal physical examination dataset of children aged 6-13 in units of 47 prefectures between 1929 and 1939, this study is the first to adopt the bilateral-specific fixed effects approach to identify the impact of fetal influenza exposure on the physical development of children. We find that the children born in 1919-1920 were shorter than those in surrounding cohorts. Our result from the specification using regional heterogeneities in the timing and severity of the influenza pandemic also implies that the persistency of fetal exposure to shocks on children's development could vary by gender.
