Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
We investigate the effect of household cash transfers during childhood
on young adult body mass indexes (BMI). The effects of extra
income differ depending on the household’s initial socioeconomic status (SES). Children from the initially poorest households have a larger increase in BMI relative to children from initially wealthier households. Several alternative mechanisms are examined. Initial SES holds up as the most likely channel behind the heterogeneous effects of extra income on young adult BMI. (JEL D14, H23, H75, I12, J13, J15)
