摘要
Recently, Corno et al. (2020) show that aggregate adverse income shocks increase early marriage and early childbearing in sub-Saharan Africa. We argue that early marriage and early childbearing are two phenomenons that are mainly determined by ethnic groups with the strongest cultural norms and practices. In particular, we replicate their empirical results and show that the Fulani ethnic group which is widely dispersed across West Africa region strongly affects early marriage and early childbearing.
