A Resource-rich Neighbor is a Misfortune: The spatial Distribution of the resource Curse in Brazil Economic Development and Cultural Change (IF 1.507) Pub Date : 2022-01-25 Phoebe W. Ishak,Pierre-Guillaume Méon
We study the spatial distribution of the effect of oil and gas revenues on Brazilian municipalities, using variations in the international prices of oil and gas to establish causality. Oil and gas revenues increase economic activity, measured by night-time light emissions, in oil-producing municipalities but impose negative spill-overs on neighbouring municipalities. Spill-overs dominate beyond 150

We use data from a lab-in-the-field experiment in Uganda to examine the effect of empowering girls on their brothers’ competition preferences. Our identification strategy exploits random assignment of a girls’ empowerment intervention across communities and natural variation in sibling sex composition. We find that empowering girls significantly increases their brothers’ competitiveness. The results

Targeting Using Differential Incentives: Evidence from a Field Experiment Economic Development and Cultural Change (IF 1.507) Pub Date : 2022-01-01 Yubraj Acharya,Jiyoon Kim
In a field experiment in Nepal, we varied the amount of financial incentives provided to health outreach workers by the ethnicity of the client they recruited for a free sugar level assessment. We find that our differential incentive in the ratio of 2.5∶1, geared toward encouraging a disadvantaged referral, raises the chances of such a referral by 11.6 percentage points (95% confidence interval, 1

Guilt and Prosocial Behavior: Lab-in-the-Field Evidence from Bangladesh Economic Development and Cultural Change (IF 1.507) Pub Date : 2022-01-01 Masahiro Shoji
The goal of this study is to examine the relevance of guilt aversion preference in financial decisions. Using data from a lab-in-the-field experiment in rural Bangladesh, this study elicits villagers’ unwillingness to fall short of others’ expectations—that is, guilt sensitivity—and examines its association with their financial decisions in the field. The experimental result demonstrates a consistent

Household Responses to Cash Transfers Economic Development and Cultural Change (IF 1.507) Pub Date : 2022-01-01 Bram De Rock,Tom Potoms,Denni Tommasi
This paper estimates a collective model of the household and investigates how parents reach decisions to allocate household resources. Using data from PROGRESA, we test the restrictions of collective rationality on a large variety of specifications and show that, contrary to previous results, this modeling approach cannot rationalize the household decision process. We provide some evidence that the

Tax Compliance in Rwanda: Evidence from a Message Field Experiment Economic Development and Cultural Change (IF 1.507) Pub Date : 2022-01-01 Giulia Mascagni,Christopher Nell
In early 2016, the Rwanda Revenue Authority sent 9,000 taxpayers messages aimed at encouraging compliance. Each taxpayer was randomly allocated to a treatment group or a control group that received no message. Treatment messages varied in terms of content (deterrence, fiscal exchange, or reminder) and delivery method (letter, email, or SMS). Our randomized controlled trial evaluates the impact of this

(Un)Conditional Love in the Time of Conditional Cash Transfers: The Effect of the Peruvian JUNTOS Program on Spousal Abuse Economic Development and Cultural Change (IF 1.507) Pub Date : 2022-01-01 Juan-José Díaz,Victor Saldarriaga
Cash transfer programs often target women as the recipient of the money. Unintentionally, this flow of unearned income may reduce spousal abuse. We investigate this possibility by assessing the Peruvian JUNTOS program. We exploit the staggered timing in the rollout of the program across municipalities along with its eligibility rule for determining participation to perform a difference-in-differences

Left behind, but not immobile: Living arrangements of Mexican transnational households Economic Development and Cultural Change (IF 1.507) Pub Date : 2021-10-22 Simone Bertoli,Elsa Gautrain,Elie Murard
We provide evidence that most Mexican children exposed to the international migration of their fathers experience further variations in their living arrangements, or the dissolution of the marital union of their parents. Children left behind typically join the household of their maternal grandparents. These changes have relevant implications for the analysis of the effects of migration and remittances:

Good Intentions Gone Bad? The Dodd-Frank Act and Conflict in Africa’s Great Lakes Region Economic Development and Cultural Change (IF 1.507) Pub Date : 2021-06-24 Jeffrey Bloem
The Dodd-Frank Act imposes reporting requirements on US companies regarding supply chain links to conflict minerals. Previous research uses within-DRC variation in the location of mineral mines to identify the effect of the Dodd-Frank Act on conflict. Due to the presence of spillovers, these previous estimates may underestimate the effect. Moreover, the legislation regulates reporting on minerals mined

Conflict and the Formation of Political Beliefs in Africa Economic Development and Cultural Change (IF 1.507) Pub Date : 2021-06-24 Achyuta Adhvaryu,James Fenske
We test whether living through conflict in childhood changes political beliefs and engagement. We combine data on the location and intensity of conflicts since 1945 with nationally representative data on political attitudes and behaviors from 17 sub-Saharan African countries. Exposure from ages 0 to 14 has a very small standardized impact on later attitudes and behaviors. This finding is robust to

Can Facebook Ads and Email Messages Increase Fiscal Capacity? Experimental Evidence from Venezuela Economic Development and Cultural Change (IF 1.507) Pub Date : 2021-02-19 Jorge Gallego,Federico Ortega
Tax compliance is a big challenge in weakly institutionalized countries, in which citizens do not trust the State and prefer to evade. Can compliance be increased, and hence fiscal state capacity strengthened, using online strategies? We perform a randomized field experiment in Venezuela's capital, Caracas, to determine if email messages, Facebook ads, or a combination of both, can increase tax compliance

Do Banks and Microfinance Institutions Compete? Microevidence from Madagascar Economic Development and Cultural Change (IF 1.507) Pub Date : 2021-02-16 Pierrick Baraton, Florian Léon
In recent years, both microfinance institutions (MFIs) and banks across the world have been converging towards the financing of small enterprises with high financing needs. This paper scrutinizes whether banks and MFIs compete each other as a result of recent transfor- mations in both industries. In doing so, we study whether the loan strategy of a microfinance institution is shaped by the local presence

Can Small Incentives Have Large Payoffs? Health Impacts of a Cash Transfer Program in Bolivia Economic Development and Cultural Change (IF 1.507) Pub Date : 2021-01-01 Pablo A. Celhay, Julia Johannsen, Sebastian Martinez, Cecilia Vidal
We study the effects of a conditional cash transfer for health care utilization, equivalent to 1% of monthly household consumption, on child survival in Bolivia. Using census data and an instrument for program take-up, we show that the intervention increased the survival rates of birth cohorts exposed to the program by 3.8% to 14.7%. A pathways analysis shows higher rates of early antenatal care and
