War and Stature: Growing Up during the Nigerian Civil War
研究尼日利亚内战（1967-70）对四十年后成年人身高的长期影响，发现战争期间出生至青春期的个体成年后身高显著降低，且青春期影响最大，而身高降低预示着更短的预期寿命和更低的收入。
The Nigerian civil war of 1967-70 was precipitated by secession of the Igbo-dominated south-eastern region to create the state of Biafra. It was the first civil war in Africa, the predecessor of many. We investigate the legacies of this war four decades later. Using variation across ethnicity and cohort, we identify significant long-run impacts on human health capital. Individuals exposed to the war at all ages between birth and adolescence exhibit reduced adult stature and these impacts are largest in adolescence. Adult stature is portentous of reduced life expectancy and lower earnings.
