The long term benefits of the measles vaccine in Mexico
研究墨西哥全国免疫计划减少麻疹对教育和就业的长期影响，发现麻疹疫苗显著提高了受教育程度和劳动市场表现，尤其对女性和男性有不同影响。
We investigate the impacts on education and employment of a reduction in measles stemming from a nationwide immunization program in Mexico. The program lead to significant improvements in childhood health as measles causes "immune amnesia", leaving individuals susceptible to illness from other diseases. We find the measles vaccine led to large increases in educational attainment for both men and women, with the effects being concentrated in lower secondary school for women and split between lower and upper secondary school for men. Labor market outcomes also improved with women experiencing large increases in employment and men seeing significant gains in income.
