Antibiotic Pollution and Infant Mortality in India
The number of deaths from antibiotic resistance is steadily rising and has become a global public health issue. Children in low- and middle-income countries are disproportionately affected, as last-line antibiotics are usually unavailable to them. Pollution of riverways caused by pharmaceutical products is one driver of antibiotic resistance. In this research note, we assess whether this channel contributes significantly to infant mortality in In…

Héritage colonial et développement
Après avoir rappelé quelques leçons du livre de Denis Cogneau (Un empire bon marché), je m'intéresse à trois points. Le premier porte sur les effets des différents types de colonisation et questionne l'idée communément admise que les colonies de peuplement sont moins nocives que les colonies d'exploitation ; le deuxième plaide pour une prise en compte fine, au niveau local, du legs colonial dans l'analyse des structures actuelles ; enfin, le dern…
Household resources and individual strategies
The question of diverging interests and preferences within couples over the use of household resources and the consequences of these conflictual views has been present for a long time in the development literature, albeit in a somewhat scattered way. This paper selectively reviews the abundant literature that offers insights into the intra-household decision-making process, the strategies put in place by individuals to secure their access to priv…

Productivity Shocks and Child Labor
Economic shocks have been shown to affect child labor, particularly when households cannot access credit. This paper asks whether access to agricultural labor markets also reduces the impact of productivity shocks on child labor. Using panel data from Tanzania, I show that (1) child labor rises with a positive rainfall shock, (2) child labor rises less when households have access to a labor market, and (3) the labor market seems more efficient th…
Market Imperfections and Child Labor
Does Work Impede Child Learning? The Case of Senegal
In African countries, children often combine school and work. This article exploits Senegalese panel data to assess the relationship between child labor and learning, measured by test scores. Test scores from the beginning of primary school control for children’s cognitive abilities, and children’s past time allocation decisions are instrumented by changes in rainfall and distance to primary school. Some of the tests were administered verbally in…
Educational Achievement and Socio-economic Background
This paper addresses the question of intergenerational schooling mobility in Senegal. We use an original survey conducted in 2003 that provides instruments to deal with the endogeneity of parent's education. In Senegal, school supply has been increasing a lot over the last decades, individuals who are now adults had different exposure to the schooling system, depending on where they lived when they were young and on their birth cohort. Hence, a f…
