This study provides the first evidence that the Nepalese civil war (1996–2006) negatively affected the health of children by exploiting spatial and temporal variation in exposure to war-related conflicts. Samples (14,447 children aged 5 years or younger) are extracted from the 1996, 2001, 2006 Demographic and Health Surveys. The results from mother fixed effects regression show that exposure has modest but significantly negative impacts on height of children under age 5 on the intensive margin. Conditional on average months of exposure to war violence of the study sample, the height of children decreases by 0.08 standard deviation. In particular, this negative health impact is statistically significant and similar across the whole height distribution.

尼泊尔内战对儿童健康的影响

这项研究提供了第一个证据，表明尼泊尔内战（1996-2006年）通过利用暴露于战争相关冲突中的时空变化对儿童的健康产生了负面影响。样本（14,447名5岁以下的儿童）摘自1996年，2001年和2006年的人口与健康调查。母亲固定效应回归的结果表明，在强化边缘，接触对5岁以下儿童的身高有中等但显着的负面影响。以研究样本暴露于战争暴力的平均月份为条件，儿童的身高降低0.08标准偏差。特别是，这种负面的健康影响在统计上是显着的，并且在整个高度分布中相似。
