Do ‘Women hold up half the sky’ in fuel choices? Revisiting the role of adolescent empowerment in a developing country context
In this paper, we study the impact of a multidimensional women’s empowerment programme in India, known as SABLA, on the choice of cooking fuel within the household. The programme, launched in 2010 as a pilot project in 205 districts of the country, provided support to women across a multitude of dimensions. We exploit plausibly exogenous geographic and cohort variation generated in the implementation of the SABLA programme using a difference-in-d…
Access to technology and foundational math proficiency among students
Digital resources such as laptops have the potential to improve access to educational resources and provide personalized and uninterrupted learning opportunities for students. The impacts of these technologies may be especially salient in contexts where classroom sizes are large and schooling quality is poor. Here, we study the impacts of access to laptops on foundational math proficiency in one such context, i.e., India, exploiting plausibly exo…
Women's Empowerment and Intimate Partner Violence
In this paper, we study a multidimensional women’s empowerment program from India to estimate its effects on intimate partner violence faced by women. We exploit plausibly exogenous geographical variation in the implementation of the program and cohort-variation generated by eligibility rules to estimate our effects. Using a reduced form difference-in-differences design, we find evidence of lesser-reported emotional and physical violence for wome…
Moving up the energy ladder
From Safe Motherhood to Cognitive Ability
Empirical evidence on conditional cash transfers (CCTs) in the education domain suggests increases in school participation but minimal effects on learning. In this paper, we find strong evidence for intrahousehold spillover effects of a CCT programme on children's academic performance, but interestingly, the CCT was not conditioned on education. We study a flagship health and safe motherhood programme from India, and by exploiting plausible exoge…
