The analysis relies on mother fixed effects to allow for unobserved differences between mothers and employs a variety of empirical strategies to address remaining sibling-specific concerns. Our results indicate that children born to young mothers are shorter for their age, with stronger effects for girls born to very young mothers. We also find some evidence suggesting that children born to very young mothers perform worse in math. By exploring the evolution of effects over time for the first time in the literature, we find that the height effect weakens as children age. Further analysis suggests both biological and behavioral factors as transmission channels. 2023-04-12T01:30:16Z 2023-04-12T01:30:16Z 2023 Book https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00148-023-00946-0 https://dlib.phenikaa-uni.edu.vn/handle/PNK/7789 en application/pdf Springer
