We examined human and physical damages caused by the earthquake which struck Nepal in 2015 with a maximum seismic intensity of 8 or higher. Our contributions to the literature are twofold: (1) we did this analysis by socio-economic status (SES) group, and (2) as a mechanism for the difference in earthquake damage between SES groups, we studied difference in the robustness of residential houses between high and low SES groups. Main finding are as follows: 1. Differences in human and physical damages between high and low SES groups increased as the seismic intensity increased. 2. As the seismic intensity increased, the proportion of damages caused by differences in the robustness (building materials) of residential houses increased for both high and low SES groups. 3. The proportion of damages attributed to differences in the robustness (building materials) of residential houses is higher for low SES group than for high SES group at all seismic intensities.

We examine the impact of arsenic exposure on child health in Bangladesh. The
geographic variation in groundwater arsenic level as well as the massive well testing and awareness campaign in the late 1990s offer a natural experiment inducing variation in child’s exposure to arsenic. Given the government’s efforts to encourage households to switch away from “unsafe” wells, areas with “unsafe” groundwater arsenic levels prior to the campaign had greater improvement in child height-for-age relative to areas with “safe” arsenic levels. Results are statistically significant for children from educated households but not for children from uneducated households.
