Disease and Development
� Incidence of life-threatening (‘high mortality’) and debilitating (‘high morbidity’) diseases is much higher in developing countries
� These diseases obviously affect quality of life (shorter life expectancy for you and your family/friends, more suffering while alive)
� But do these diseases also matter for economic living standards?
� Why would we expect them to matter (or not)?

This Lecture
We discuss 2 papers in this area:Bleakley (2007): ‘Malaria Eradication in the Americas: A Retrospective Analysis of Childhood Exposure’
1. � ‘Micro’ approach � Finds large effects � Method: difference in differences
2. Acemoglu and Johnson (2007): ‘Disease and Development: The Effect of Life Expectancy on Economic Growth’
� ‘Macro’ approach � Finds no effect (on output per capita) � Method: instrumental variables

Malaria
� Malaria persists in tropical regions up to the present day
� Big question: Does malaria hold back economic progress? Sachs: yes, big time.
� Narrower (but still important!) question in this paper: Does childhood exposure to malaria inhibit learning and subsequent labor productivity.
� Why would we expect an effect?

Childhood malaria ⇒ Learning, Wages?
� This is a hard question to answer.
� Why is it hard to answer?
� How would you try to answer it?
![Page 6: Lecture 13: Health II: Disease and Development: Micro and ...dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/77095/14-73-fall-2009/contents/... · Micro vs Macro approaches Bleakley compares](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040908/5e804cad22770022c420789f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How does this paper try to answer it?
� Examine large malaria eradication program in Americas (US South, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico)
� Eradication was suddenly possible for ‘exogenous’ reasons
� Compare people born before the eradication to people born after it → first difference
� Further compare across regions of counties in which pre-eradication malaria was high and low → second difference
� ‘Difference-in-differences’
![Page 7: Lecture 13: Health II: Disease and Development: Micro and ...dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/77095/14-73-fall-2009/contents/... · Micro vs Macro approaches Bleakley compares](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040908/5e804cad22770022c420789f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Recall: Difference-in-differences
� Consider eradication in US South; suppose it happened overnight in 1920.
� Take data on wages of adults in 1970: Y � First difference: compare adults born before (eg born 1902) to
those born after (eg born 1921): Y1921 − Y1902 � Why not just stop here?
� Second difference: do the first comparison again across adults from two regions, with high and eradication intensity: [Y H − Y H
1921 − Y L 1921 1902] − [Y L
1902] � Why not just use Y H
1902?1902 − Y L
� Our DID estimate of the effect of childhood malaria eradication on wages is: [Y H − Y H L L
1921 1902] − [Y1921 − Y1902]
� What could be wrong with this logic?

First Difference: Time Variation
� Imagine eradication occurred overnight in 1950 in Brazil.
� You have data on Brazilians of all ages in, say, 1980.
� Who among these people got lots of childhood exposure to malaria?
� Who got no exposure to malaria?
� Who got intermediate amounts of exposure?

Second Difference: Spatial Variation
� Imagine eradication was total eradication
� Then places with lots of malaria prior to eradication had ‘further to fall’
� This means we should expect to see larger effects (on, eg, child learning) of the program in places where malaria was worse to begin with.

Differences From Bleakley
� Macro data: Entire country (not regions of country or cohorts of a country)
� Outcomes (eg GDP) measured in real time—not a cross-cohort analysis based on effect of childhood exposure on outcomes observed later (eg adult wages)
� Different question: effect of eradication of fatal diseases (ie raising life expectancy): mortality rather than morbidity
![Page 22: Lecture 13: Health II: Disease and Development: Micro and ...dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/77095/14-73-fall-2009/contents/... · Micro vs Macro approaches Bleakley compares](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040908/5e804cad22770022c420789f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Life Expectancy and GDP Levels: Theory
� Why would we expect to see (or not to see) an effect of improved life expectancy on GDP growth?
![Page 23: Lecture 13: Health II: Disease and Development: Micro and ...dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/77095/14-73-fall-2009/contents/... · Micro vs Macro approaches Bleakley compares](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040908/5e804cad22770022c420789f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Life Expectancy and GDP Levels: Empirics
� There is a positive correlation between life expectancy and GDP levels across countries today
� Why might this correlation not necessarily imply that a channel of causation is at work?
� How might we measure the amount of causation at work here?
![Page 24: Lecture 13: Health II: Disease and Development: Micro and ...dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/77095/14-73-fall-2009/contents/... · Micro vs Macro approaches Bleakley compares](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040908/5e804cad22770022c420789f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
How This Paper Tries to Solve the Problem
� Exploit the ‘Epidemiological Transition’ (c. 1940s): � Dramatic improvement in: international health interventions,
public health measures, introduction of new chemicals and drugs
� Demographers: major cause of death switched from infectious diseases to degenerative diseases
� Diseases such as TB, malaria and pneumonia receded � Each disease went through its own ‘major global intervention’
� Potential effect of epidemiological transition varied across countries depending on their pre-transition disease mix
![Page 25: Lecture 13: Health II: Disease and Development: Micro and ...dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/77095/14-73-fall-2009/contents/... · Micro vs Macro approaches Bleakley compares](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040908/5e804cad22770022c420789f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Predicted Mortality Drop � Authors construct measure of ‘predicted mortality’ in each
country i and year t as follows: 15
Mit � =
�[(1 − Idt )Mdi40 + Idt MdFt ] (1)
d=1
� Where: � d is for disease (of which there are 15: TB, malaria,
pneumonia, influenza, cholera, typhoid, smallpox, whooping cough, measles, diptheria, scarlet fever, yellow fever, plague, typhus fever and dysentery/diarrhoeal disease)
� Idt : ‘dummy variable’ equal to 1 if year t is after the year in which disease d had its global intervention (eg DDT for malaria)
� Mdi40: death rate due to disease d in country i in year 1940 (pre-intervention)
� MdFt : death rate due to disease d in the frontier (ie lowest death rate) country in year t
![Page 26: Lecture 13: Health II: Disease and Development: Micro and ...dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/77095/14-73-fall-2009/contents/... · Micro vs Macro approaches Bleakley compares](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040908/5e804cad22770022c420789f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Predicted Mortality: an Instrumental Variable
� We are interested in the causal effect of LE (life expectancy) on Y (GDP per capita)
� We can construct the correlation between LE and Y —but we worry this is not equal to the causal effect
� Sometimes we can find an ‘instrumental variable’ M � which satisfies two conditions/assumptions:
1. M � is correlated with LE [testable] 2. The only reason that M � is correlated with Y is because M �
shifts LE , and LE shifts Y [not testable]
� Under these conditions/assumptions you can back out the extent to which LE shifts Y , ie the causal effect of LE on Y (the thing we’re interested in).
![Page 27: Lecture 13: Health II: Disease and Development: Micro and ...dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/77095/14-73-fall-2009/contents/... · Micro vs Macro approaches Bleakley compares](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040908/5e804cad22770022c420789f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Predicted Mortality: an Instrumental Variable
� How plausible is condition 2 here? Recall 2: “The only reason that M � is correlated with Y is because M � shifts LE , and LE shifts Y ”
� Authors are claiming: 1. Timing of disease intervention (ie the Idt variable) was
completely out of the control of these countries 2. Pre-intervention (ie 1940) ‘disease mix’ (ie the Mdi40 variables)
does not affect post-1940 economic growth (Y ) 3. Hence, ‘predicted mortality’ is exogenous with respect to
economic growth (Y ) 4. Further, the only thing that ‘predicted mortality’ (ie a
country’s particular exposure to the disease interventions) did to economic growth was to raise life expectancy LE
![Page 28: Lecture 13: Health II: Disease and Development: Micro and ...dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/77095/14-73-fall-2009/contents/... · Micro vs Macro approaches Bleakley compares](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040908/5e804cad22770022c420789f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
‘First Stage’ and ‘Reduced-Form’
� These are names given to different correlations in the data among LE , Y and M �
� First Stage: � The correlation between LE and Z
� Reduced-form: � The correlation between Y and M �
� We will look at these in the Acemoglu-Johnson data
� Intuitively, the effect of LE on Y (ie what we really care about) is given by the ratio of reduced-form correlation ov er the first stage correlation.

Bleakley vs Acemoglu-Johnson
Why do these studies find different things?
� Different diseases?
� Mortality vs Morbidity � Micro vs Macro approaches
� Bleakley compares young with old (a ‘micro’ comparison): young (exposed to eradication) earn more than old (not exposed)
� Any effect of malaria eradication that affects young and old equally will be differenced out and not counted.
� Perhaps both young and old are affected adversely (and equally) by the presence of higher population (the ‘macro’ effect found in Acemoglu-Johnson)
