Abstract: 
Atwood analyzes the effects of the 1963 U.S. measles vaccination on long-run labor market out-comes, using a generalized difference-in-differences approach. We reproduce the results of thispaper and perform a battery of robustness checks. Overall, we confirm that the measles vaccinationhad positive labor market effects. While the negative effect on the likelihood of living in povertyand the positive effect on the probability of being employed are very robust across the differentspecifications, the headline estimate-the effect on earnings-is more sensitive to the exclusion ofcertain regions and survey years.
