Congratulations to Economics Professor Josh Wilde and his coauthors Benedicte Apouey (a former member of our faculty) and Toni Jung (a USF Economics Alumna) for winning the IPUMS International Research Awards:

Published Research:
Joshua Wilde, Bénédicte H. Apouey, and Toni Jung. "The Effect of Ambient Temperature Shocks During Conception and Early Pregnancy on Later Life Outcomes." European Economic Review 97: 87-2017.

Wilde, Apouey, and Jung combine IPUMS International census microdata with temperature data and supplemental health data to model the effects of temperature shocks during conception and early pregnancy on later life outcomes. They use individual level information on place and timing of birth as well as the fully harmonized geographic units and corresponding GIS shapefiles to take full advantage of their data on temperature shocks.
