The welfare effects of India’s rural employment guarantee
Financial market responses to a natural disaster
We examine changes in financial allocations in Rotating Savings and Credit Associations (Roscas), a popular group-based financial institution world-wide, in the aftermath of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. With financial data from locations along the South Indian coast we estimate the causal effect of this major natural disaster on financial flows between occupational groups, the price of credit and other loan characteristics. We find that the sup…
The dynamics of poverty targeting
Equality of the Sexes and Gender Differences in Competitiveness
The Demand for Health Insurance in a Poor Economy
We investigate the properties of health insurance demand in Burkina Faso, where we offered poor households a voluntary health insurance product at half the usual price. The targeting procedure we implemented delivers a fuzzy regression discontinuity design, which identifies the price elasticity of demand for health insurance as well as associated selection effects. We find large price elasticities among urban households, whereas the demand of rur…
Private Information and Altruism in Bidding Roscas
This article studies how altruism improves allocations in a private information environment where strategic behaviour reduces economic welfare.

A semi-parametric structural estimatio…
