The study uses knowledge of a child's birth and high resolution spatial and temporal distribution of shocks, calculated from the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and satellite-based measures of rainfall and temperature to link a child to the shock experienced in-utero. The study finds that while around 20 percent of the children in the sample are stunted or underweight, more than 30 percent of the children in the sample are highly vulnerable to either form of malnutrition. 2015-02-03T15:56:47Z 2015-02-03T15:56:47Z 2015-01 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2015/01/23847660/vulnerability-malnutrition-west-african-sahel http://hdl.handle.net/10986/21388 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 7171 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Group, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Africa West Africa
