Long-term effects of early life rainfall shocks on foundational cognitive skills: evidence from Peru by Pazos, N, Favara, M, Sánchez, A, Scott, D, Behrman, J

“…Global warming is changing precipitation patterns, particularly harming communities in low-and-middle income countries (LMICs). Whilst the long-term effects of being exposed to rainfall shocks early in life on school-achievement tests are well-established, there is little population-based evidence from LMICs on the mechanisms through which these shocks operate. …”
