| 摘要 | This paper provides the first quantitative evidence on the causal effect of nature’s wealth on human development. Focusing on the ocean’s exploitation for food consumption, we study early-life exposure to exogenous shocks in the ocean’s chemical composition, i.e., unobservable short-run changes in the wealth of species that can be locally harvested. Focusing on 36 low and middle income countries between 1972 and 2018, we estimate impacts up to 46 years post exposure analyzing information on 0.5 million adult women and 1.5 million births. Negative shocks have a significant effect on mortality early in life, especially where resources are overexploited. While mortality selection dominates scarring, we find long-lasting negative impacts on human capital and economic well-being among women. Effects are driven by unobserved nutritional deprivation during pregnancy. They operate in absence of any contemporaneous adaptation as no behavioral change or adjustment in consumption occur. We exclude the presence of income or price shocks using granular measures of resource exploitation, nightlight luminosity, and fish prices. Aggregate estimates reveal that persistent negative shocks lead to considerable life loss. |
