  • Motherhood wage penalties and labour market segmentation

    María del Pilar Casal, Bradford L BarhamARTICLECEPAL review2014References: 3

    This article explores the connection between labour market segregation and motherhood wage penalties in Argentina across the formal and informal sectors. It uses ordinary least square and quantile regression estimation strategies and deploys Blinder-Oaxaca and Ñopo decompositions to identify sources of wage differences. The finding is that there is strong evidence of labour market segmentation and that motherhood wage penalties differ substantive…

  • Early-Childhood Nutrition and Educational Conditional Cash Transfer Programmes

    Seth R Gitter, James Manley et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Development Studies2013

    Conditional cash transfer (CCT) programmes have been linked to improvements in education, but effects on nutritional status are unclear. We develop a theoretical household model demonstrating how CCTs’ educational requirements may constrain households to shift resources from younger to older children to sustain school attendance. This could limit households’ capacity to invest in young children's nutritional status, particularly given a negative …

  • Fair Trade-Organic Coffee Cooperatives, Migration, and Secondary Schooling in Southern Mexico

    Seth R Gitter, Jeremy G Weber et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Development Studies2012

    We explore three trends in rural southern Mexico (Fair Trade coffee, migration, and conditional cash transfers) that could explain the rapid rise in education from 1995–2005 using survey data from 845 coffee farming households in Oaxaca and Chiapas, Mexico. Results from a household fixed-effects model show that household participation in a Fair Trade-organic cooperative contributed to about a 0.7 year increase in schooling for girls. US migration…

  • Conditional Cash Transfers, Shocks, and School Enrolment in Nicaragua

    Seth R Gitter, Bradford L BarhamARTICLEThe Journal of Development Studies2009

    This work estimates the impacts of a Nicaraguan cash transfer programme that pays households conditional on school attendance and family visits to health clinics and seminars. A model explores the impact on school enrollment of cash transfers given differences in household wealth, labour market opportunities, and negative shocks. A difference-in-difference estimation for distinct wealth cohorts reveals that the programme led to a significant impr…

    Open AccessJohn A Cro, Douglas B Jackson‐smith et al.ARTICLERural Sociology2000Cited by: 5References: 10

    The persistence of ethnic traits in both the visible agricultural landscape and the practices of established farmers in the United States has been well documented but not unchallenged. One limitation of most studies is that they have focused on relatively special populations of farmers who could be expected to have unusually strong ethnic identity. It has not been clear that ethnic background could serve as a useful variable in explaining variati…

  • Rain Forest Extraction and Conservation in Amazonia

    Oliver T Coomes, Bradford L BarhamARTICLEGeographical Journal1997Cited by: 28References: 4

    Concern over the fate of the Amazonian rain forest and its peoples has prompted a wave of internationally-sponsored initiatives that promise to conserve the forest while benefiting indigenous peoples. In this paper, the challenges posed by such endeavours are reviewed and a critical synthesis posed of prevailing notions of the rain forest, its peoples, and the economic logic of forest product extraction and trade that underlie current conservatio…

  • Agricultural Export Booms and the Rural Poor in Chile, Guatemala, and Paraguay

    Open AccessM Carter, Michael R Carter et al.ARTICLELatin American Research Review1996

    The economic crisis of the 1980s and the shift to outward-looking development strategies ignited interest in promoting agricultural exports throughout Latin America. In the 1990s, export strategies continue to dominate discussion on agricultural development in the region. Especially for smaller developing countries in Latin America, agricultural and natural-resource exports appear likely to lead efforts to stimulate export growth. Extraordinarily…

  • Reinterpreting the Amazon Rubber Boom

    Open AccessBradford L Barham, Oliver T CoomesARTICLELatin American Research Review1994

    Few periods in South American history have so captured the imagination and begged the attention of scholars as the Amazon rubber boom. For fifty years, the extraction of wild rubber from the jungles of the Amazon fueled unprecedented economic expansion in the region: per capita incomes in the Brazilian Amazon climbed by 800 percent; the regional population increased by more than 400 percent; urban centers and secondary towns blossomed along the r…

  • Wild Rubber

    Open AccessBradford L Barham, Bradford Barham et al.ARTICLEJournal of Latin American Studies1994Cited by: 23References: 21

    Concern over the fate of the rain forest and peoples of Amazonia has inspired a renewed interest in the extraction of natural products from the region. Accounts of the Amazon Rubber Boom (1860-1910) are of particular interest in view of the dominance of the rubber industry during one of the most influential periods in the region's history as well as the continuing economic importance of wild rubber extraction to thousands of Amazonian households …
