Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
Cognitive damage from iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) has important
implications for economic growth through its effect on human
capital. To gauge the magnitude of this influence, we evaluate the
impact on schooling of reductions in IDD from intensive iodine supplementation
in Tanzania. Our findings suggest a large effect of in
utero iodine on cognition and human capital: treated children attain
an estimated 0.35-0.56 years of additional schooling relative to siblings
and older and younger peers. Furthermore, the effect appears
to be substantially larger for girls, consistent with laboratory evidence
indicating greater cognitive sensitivity of female fetuses to
maternal thyroid deprivation. (JEL I12, I21, J16, O15)
