This is a retraction of: Paola Giuliano, Antonio Spilimbergo, Growing up in a Recession, The Review of Economic Studies, Volume 81, Issue 2, April 2014, Pages 787–817, https://doi.org/10.1093/restud/rdt040
The authors and editorial team are retracting this article because the original findings cannot be replicated, likely as a result of an inadvertent coding error. While the original codes and data sets are no longer available, new analysis with a markedly similar data set does not support the original results.
