    Twenty Year Economic Impacts

    of Deworming: Some
    observations

    What if you estimate the effect of deworming on
    1. nutritional/health variables first, and next
    causality on earnings & consumption outcomes?
    At least in the first years of the program. It gives more credibility.

    Shouldn’t be a better policy affect directly the


    result you are aiming for instead of waiting for non-
    2. linear effects with super-complicated ways to
    estimate impact?
    Reality is non-linear and econometric tools are not designed to deal
    exactly with positive feedback loops. Alternatives: UBIs, job training
    programs, etc.
    In order to get a clearer picture of effects, the authors could use
    Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) as exploratory tolos to
    3. understand which variables they should focus on. This is widely
    used in epidemiology and medical studies.
