Resumen
Descripción
This article uses longitudinal data from
the Philippines to examine whether the timing of
malnutrition in early childhood is a critical factor in
determining subsequent cognitive development. Although some
observers have argued that the first six months of life are
the most critical in the sense that malnutrition during that
time period harms cognitive development more than
malnutrition later in life, analysis of the Philippines data
does not support this claim. To the contrary, the data
suggest that malnutrition in the second year of life may
have a larger negative impact than malnutrition in the first
year of life.
