  abstract = {{T}his study uses household-level panel data from a nationally representative survey to estimate the effect of agricultural productivity shocks-as proxied by exogenous annual rainfall deviations-on education expenditures and children's work status in rural {I}ndia. {W}e find that a transitory increase in rainfall significantly reduces education expenditures and increases the likelihood of child labor across multiple work activities. {A}dditionally, households owning land and those with better credit access increase the use of child labor as rainfall increases because labor (and land) markets are incomplete. {T}he effects of productivity shocks are reinforced for marginalized castes and for less educated households, thereby exacerbating inequalities in education.},
