摘要： This paper employs the difference-in-differences and instrumental variable methods to quantify the long-term effect of the 1959-1961 Great Famine in China on mental well-being of the survivors, which we use depression, happiness, and life satisfaction as the proxies. We find that, exposure to the Great Famine in the prenatal and early childhood caused significantly negative effects on mental well-being outcomes after half a century. Our results survive various robustness checks. Moreover, the negative effects on mental well-being hold even after we adjust for physical health and social-economic outcomes, which may imply a direct impact of psychological trauma.
