Congratulations to Daniel Ramirez who was awarded the Milton B. Dolinger Graduate Fellowship in the World War II Era for 2018-2019 to support his dissertation research Life After Starving in the Womb: a Study on the Effects of In-utero Malnutrition During World War II on Income and Health in Late-life. In the dissertation he examines the impact of the Dutch hunger winter of 1944-45 caused by the German occupation and embargo of the Netherlands. The embargo resulted in dramatic declines in caloric intake (to 500-700 calories/day) in the western provinces of the Netherlands. The dissertation takes advantage of this event as a natural experiment to examine the impact of severe nutritional deprivation in-utero on long term health and socioeconomic development.
