Impact of Prenatal Exposure to Fasting on Cognitive Development of Children
Beenish Amir
Abstract
Evidence has shown that prenatal nutritional shocks have a long-lasting impact on health, cognitive ability and adult outcomes. This study looks at the impact of exposure to fasting on the academic achievement of children who are formally educated. The study uses exposure to Ramadan of pregnant Muslims as a natural experiment to analyze this impact. Relative to famines and wars, Ramadan is a milder shock and lasts for a shorter time period. This study uses LEAPS (Learning and Educational Achievements in Punjab Schools) panel data collected by World Bank for different regions of Punjab. As actual fasting behavior of pregnant Muslims cannot be observed, the study to uses “intention to treat” approach; this permits measurement of impact in presence of non-compliance. Results show that exposure to fasting in the first trimester has a negative effect on test scores of students.
