Self-medication under uncertainty
How does drug quality affect self-medication behavior? We address this question in the context of Burkina Faso, where self-medication with antibiotics is widespread. Using chemical quality tests, we find that one in three antibiotics on the market is substandard or falsified, posing significant health risks. While consumers are broadly aware of the prevalence of poor-quality drugs, they struggle to assess quality based on observable cues such as …

Indonesia Under the New Normal
As the Covid-19 crisis deepened in 2020, President Joko Widodo announced that Indonesia should prepare for the ‘new normal’. But when social distancing restrictions were relaxed in June to encourage economic recovery, the virus was not yet contained in Indonesia.

Can information increase the understanding and uptake of insurance? Lessons from a randomized experiment in rural Burkina Faso
Effects of Decentralized Health-Care Financing on Maternal Care in Indonesia
We exploit variation in the design of subnational health-care financing initiatives in Indonesian districts to assess the effects of these local schemes on maternal care from 2004 to 2010.

Our results show that th…

We find that the burden of health shocks and health spending is high, ranging from on…
