Dissecting the cost of peering: Global evidence from internet exchange points (IXPs)
Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) are critical Internet infrastructures that facilitate local traffic exchange between Internet Service Providers (ISPs) through various peering arrangements. We posit that peering can significantly impact telecommunications costs and market outcomes. This paper examines the economic costs associated with peering compared to IP Transit services and analyzes their downstream effects on telecommunications markets globa…
The impact of life skills education on socio-emotional development and school-related outcomes among adolescents in India
The C2L program has a positive impact on both educational and socio-emotional outcomes among adolescents. The findings suggest that life skills interventions can effectively enhance school attendance, self-efficacy, resilience, and gender attitudes. These results have important implications for policy, indicating that integrating socio-emotional learning (SEL) programs in school curricula can contribute to better educational and developmental out…
The Importance of Context Awareness in Pisa Creativity Data
For the first time in 2022, PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) assessed creative thinking skills among 15‐year‐old students in 64 countries. The inclusion of measures assessing the generation and evaluation of new and diverse ideas is a welcome step, especially as PISA also includes data on academic performance. Early results from descriptive analysis indicate that girls outperform boys in creative thinking, and better socioeco…
Predicting the replicability of social and behavioural science claims in Covid-19 preprints
Replications are important for assessing the reliability of published findings. However, they are costly, and it is infeasible to replicate everything. Accurate, fast, lower-cost alternatives such as eliciting predictions could accelerate assessment for rapid policy implementation in a crisis and help guide a more efficient allocation of scarce replication resources. We elicited judgements from participants on 100 claims from preprints about an e…
Double Jab: Survey Evidence on Vaccine Hesitancy, Beliefs, and Attitudes in India
India witnessed a large surge in COVID-19 cases in April 2021, a second wave of nearly 350,000 daily new infections across the country. As of December 2021, cases have reduced drastically, in part due to greater vaccine coverage across the country. This study reports results on vaccine hesitancy, attitudes, and behaviors from an online survey conducted between February and March 2021 in nine Indian cities (N = 518). We find that vaccine hesitancy…
We're very grateful: Moral emotions, role models, and trust predict vaccine uptake intent in India
This study investigated determinants of the willingness to get vaccinated in India and examined the relationship between engagement in preventive behaviours and vaccine uptake intent. A large-scale online survey covering aspects of COVID-19 preventive behaviours, vaccination status, moral emotions, trust in others, role models, and socio-demographics was used. A total of 953 Indians participated in the survey between May and June 2021, of which 7…
The Effect of Women’s Empowerment on Intimate Partner Violence and Child Nutrition Outcomes in India, Nepal, and Pakistan
Women’s empowerment is often defined to include aspects of agency, autonomy and choice, which in turn has consequences for facing intimate partner violence (IPV) and the ability of a woman to fulfil childcare responsibilities. This suggests that empowerment is directly and indirectly (via IPV) associated with child nutrition outcomes (CNOs), especially in South Asian countries where gendered norms may place the onus of childcare on mothers. We ex…
Worry much? Preventive health behaviours related to worry across countries amid Covid-19
This study examined the relationship between worry and health behaviours using an online survey of 69,033 respondents from 32 countries. We hypothesized that past health behaviours predicted worry experienced, which in turn predicted future health behaviours, and included a metric of cultural distance from the US. Past behaviours such as maintaining physical distance predicted higher worry, whereas worry reduced the likelihood of going outside. B…
A Culture-Centered Approach to Experiences of the Coronavirus Pandemic Lockdown Among Internal Migrants in India
India's coronavirus lockdown forced low-wage migrant workers to return from the city to the home towns and villages from which they came. Pre-pandemic living and working conditions were already stressful and difficult for these migrants. The lockdown became an additional burden, since it shut down sources of income with no assurance about when, or if, work and earning to support families could be resumed. This article draws on the lens of the Cul…
Female matters: Impact of a workfare program on intra-household female decision-making in rural India
Sacred nudging” and sanitation decisions in India
Sanitation policies in India have primarily focused on infrastructure development, through building latrines and toilets. Given the persistence of open defecation in India despite such efforts, emphases on behavioral change interventions are crucial. We explore why and how the dual nature of purity and degradation in public and private spaces is relevant to such problems. In the context of sanitation and health policies in India, we propose an in…
