This paper analyzes the impact of a cash transfer program on cognitive development in early childhood in rural Nicaragua. Identification is base...
متن کاملEvidence from a Randomized Experiment in Mexico
The paper will use the data from the PROGRESA evaluation to show the extent to which such a programme crowds out private transfers. An interesting aspect of the paper is the fact that it can use the randomization (one-third of the villages in the sample were randomized in the programme for evaluation purposes).
متن کاملHousehold malaria knowledge and its association with bednet ownership in settings without large–scale distribution programs: Evidence from rural Madagascar
BACKGROUND Insecticide-treated bednets are effective at preventing malaria. This study focuses on household-level factors that are associated with bednet ownership in a rural area of Madagascar which had not been a recipient of large-scale ITN distribution. METHODS Data were gathered on individual and household characteristics, malaria knowledge, household assets and bednet ownership. Princip...

It is often argued that cost-sharing—charging a subsidized, positive price— for a health product is necessary to avoid wasting resources on those who will not use or do not need the product. We explore this argument through a field experiment in Kenya, in which we randomized the price at which prenatal clinics could sell long-lasting antimalarial insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) to pregnant ...
