• Weather shocks and health at birth in Colombia (2014, background): “The analysis sample is limited to rural areas, 1.498 million births (which represent approximately 20% of all births) We also limit the sample to first births, as there are well-known differences in average outcomes by birth order (Currie and Moretti, 2003).”

• The impact of parental income and education on the schooling of their children (2005, background): “An example of the importance of maternal education on child’s outcome is provided in Currie and Moretti (2003), who found a positive relationship between maternal education and their child’s birth weight, which is a strong predictor of child health.”
• The Economic Impact of Colleges and Universities (2007, background): “Breierova and Duflo (2002), and Currie and Moretti (2003) find that higher maternal education improves infant health.”
• Human Capital Inequality, Life Expectancy and Economic Growth (2008, methodology): “More recently, using data for the US, Deaton and Paxon (1999) have found that higher income is associated with lower mortality, whereas Lleras-Muney (2005) findings reveal that education has a large negative causal effect on mortality.”
