    Vincenzo Di Maro, Stefan Leeffer et al.ARTICLEEconomic Development and Cultural…2024References: 25

    How should parents be mobilized for education in Africa? We implemented a large-scale field experiment in Angolan primary schools, including three treatments: an information campaign at home, simple parents’ meetings at school, and a combination of both. Our measures of parental mobilization include beneficial practices at home, contacts with teachers, and participation in school institutions. We find that the information increased parents’ invol…

We use variables related to cost (fee, distance to the nursery) and programme availability (capacity of the programme in the town) as instruments. One of our data sets is representative of very poor individuals living in rural areas of Colombia, while the other focuses in urban …

  • Conditional Cash Transfers, Adult Work Incentives, and Poverty

    Emmanuel Skoufias, Vincenzo Di MaroARTICLEThe Journal of Development Studies2008

    Conditional cash transfer (CCT) programmes aim to alleviate poverty through monetary and in-kind benefits, as well as reduce future incidence of poverty by encouraging investments in education, health and nutrition. The success of CCT programmes at reducing poverty depends on whether, and the extent to which, cash transfers affect adult work incentives. In this paper we examine whether the PROGRESA programme of Mexico affects adult participation …
