    Do man-made disasters induce permanent behavioral changes? Using unique panel data from Vietnam that experimentally elicit a particular behavioral preference, namely, risk tolerance, we analyze (i) whether individuals located in areas exposed to greater levels of contaminants from Agent Orange spraying during the Vietnam War are relatively more risk tolerant vis-àvis those who are located in less affected areas, (ii) whether risk tolerance declines and the willingness to invest increases with the decreasing intensity of the harm over time, and (iii) the socio-economic factors that impede out-migration from the heavily contaminated areas. We find that individuals located within Agent Orange affected areas have greater risk tolerance, but this risk tolerance exhibits a downward trend. Continued residency within the disaster-affected areas is primarily influenced by the ownership of physical assets.

    This paper examines the long-term health impact of Agent Orange, a toxic military herbicide containing dioxin that was used extensively during the U.S.-Vietnam war in the 1960-70s. Using a nationally representative health survey and an instrumental variable approach that addresses the potential endogeneity in the location and the intensity of U.S. defoliant missions, we report several findings. First, relative to the average prevalence rate of the sample population, we find that Vietnamese civilians located in a commune one-standard-deviation more exposed to herbicide during the war were 19.75 percent more likely to suffer from a health disease medically linked to Agent Orange three decades later. Second, disaggregating by disease types, we observe significant effects on blood pressure disease and mobility disability. Third, across cohorts, we find significant detrimental impact on those born before herbicide missions ended, especially among wartime children, infants, and those in-utero during the 1962-1971 period.
