The impact of conditional cash transfer programmes on child nutrition: a review of evidence using a programme theory framework (2009, background): “2008 , Ruel and Hoddinott 2008 ), and hence potentially better child nutrition in the next generation.”
The stunting syndrome in developing countries (2014, background): “248 Stunted children lose y 3.2 cm in adult stature for each decrement in HAZ at age 2 years; 249 these negative impacts on stature (which translate into physical stamina) and cognition result in lower economic productivity, earning 8–46% lower wages 249,250 and owning up to 66% fewer assets.”
On the Structural Transformation of Rural Africa (2017, background): “…direct health and nutrition interventions among pregnant and lactating women and their young children offer well-documented high long-run returns, including in adult labor productivity of affected children (Casasnovas, Rivera and Currais 2005; Hoddinott et al. 2008; Victora et al. 2008).”
The (hidden) costs of political instability: Evidence from Kenya's 2007 election crisis☆ (2012, neutral): “1 There are two main channels through which political instability (even conditional on overall government quality) may negatively a⁄ect growth.”
THE DETERMINANTS OF HUMAN CAPITAL FORMATION DURING THE EARLY YEARS OF LIFE: THEORY, MEASUREMENT, AND POLICIES (2015, background): “Interestingly, the gains in various dimensions, including adult wages, were significant only for those children that were exposed sufficiently early to the intervention (see, for instance, Hoddinott et al. 2008; Maluccio et al. 2009).”
Investing in Young Children: An Early Childhood Development Guide for Policy Dialogue and Project Preparation (2010, positive): “In Guatemala, the results of a recent study show that boys given a nutritional supplement3 between birth and 24 months (1969–77) earned on average 46 percent higher wages as adults than those in the control group (who were more likely to be stunted) (Hoddinott et al. 2008).”
The food security system: A new conceptual framework (2012, background): “Substantial losses in income and GDP are due to impaired cognitive abilities, which are particularly relevant in more advanced economies (Hoddinott et al. 2008; Horton and Ross 2003; Selowsky and Taylor 1973).”
