Powering Up Child Growth: The Impact of Electricity Outages on Children's Anthropometric Outcomes in the Kyrgyz Republic
Original language description
Using household-level panel data and a coarsened exact matching procedure, this paper investigates the relationship between frequent electricity outages and the anthropometric outcomes of children. Specifically, we study the differences in the anthropometric outcomes of children aged under 5 in the Kyrgyz Republic. We find that children living in households with frequent outages have z-scores of height-for-age (HAZ) that are 0.37 units lower compared to the children living in similar households but without frequent outages. We also document that HAZ values of girls are more sensitive toward frequent outages, which indicates a possible presence of gender bias among Kyrgyz households.
