Malaria eradication and economic outcomes in sub-Saharan Africa: Evidence from Uganda. Barofsky, J.; Anekwe, T.; and Chase, C.

Paper abstract bibtex

In the Journal of Health Economics, Jeremy Barofsky, Tobenna Anekweb and Claire Chase look at malaria eradication efforts in Uganda between 1959 and 1960 and\ identify long-term changes in educational and economic outcomes. They find malaria eradication raised educational attainment by about a half year for both males and females, increased primary school completion among females and generated an almost 40% rise in the likelihood of male wage employment.
