that the early 1920s US iodization led to measurable gains in enlistees for WWII has been in papers floating around for a while now; for example, “The Economic Effects of Micronutrient Deficiency: Evidence from Salt Iodization in the United States”, Feyrer et al 2008.
I think the paper JoshuaZ’s linked is a completed version of that 2008 draft: the authors are the same and the title & abstract are similar.
Also maybe even voting patterns.
That link doesn’t work for me.
Maybe. I haven’t read it yet but I copied it over to http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/182368464/2013-feyrer.pdf
Oh, sorry. They redirected the page instead of using a 404 error, grr, no wonder my linkchecker runs didn’t pick it up. This link should work: http://web.archive.org/web/20120926070411/http://www.uncg.edu/bae/econ/seminars/2012/Bednar.pdf
