All regressions include month-year of birth fixed effects, month-region fixed effect, and region-specific trends. Control variables include: birth order/ number of children, ethnicity, age, and education of the mother, whether they have access to piped water at home, a toilet, and temperature and rainfall by trimester in-utero, except when used as the placebo variable. p-values of wild bootstrap inferences shown in parentheses and 95-percent confidence intervals shown in brackets
