Correlates of hysterectomy in low- and middle-income countries
Background: Hysterectomies for benign conditions have declined in recent decades in most high-income countries (HICs); however, it remains a common surgical procedure among women of reproductive age in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Although an expanding body of evidence has examined the factors associated with hysterectomy in HICs, evidence remains limited in LMICs. Therefore, we systematically reviewed and synthesised the existing ev…
Does population composition of a village influence public school quality? Evidence from rural India
In this paper, we investigate whether the population composition of villages is associated with the quality of public schools in rural India. We use two parameters to assess the quality of public schools – school infrastructure and teachers’ presence. Using a recent round of Census and District Information System for Education data, we find that the caste composition of a village is associated with the quality of public schools. Villages inhabite…
Using Satellite Images and Deep Learning to Measure Health and Living Standards in India
Using deep learning with satellite images enhances our understanding of human development at a granular spatial and temporal level. Most studies have focused on Africa and on a narrow set of asset-based indicators. This article leverages georeferenced village-level census data from across 40% of the population of India to train deep models that predicts 16 indicators of human well-being from Landsat 7 imagery. Based on the principles of transfer …

How does economic hardship during a crisis affect people’s evaluation of the political leadership? In this paper, we investigate how the negative impact of an exogenous event like COVID-19 interacts with other important phenomena which influence leadership approval, such as partisanship, political trust, and satisfaction with democracy. Using a nationally representative survey in Indonesia (N = 1,200), we show that economic hardship does not unif…
