The Human Capital Cost of Radiation: Long-run Evidence from Exposure outside the Womb

Elsner, Benjamin; Wozny, Florian - 2019

This paper studies the long-term effect of radiation on cognitive skills. We use regional variation in nuclear fallout caused by the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, which led to a permanent increase in radiation levels in most of Europe. To identify a causal effect, we exploit the fact that the...
