Abstract
The enhancement of the rate coefficient for the radiative association of Li and H to form LiH arising from stimulated emission by the cosmic background radiation field is calculated. It is shown that the effect on the fractional abundance of LiH in the early universe for redshifts z between 1000 and 10 is small.
