Cash or Condition? Evidence from a Cash Transfer Experiment
This article assesses the role of conditionality in cash transfer programs using a unique experiment targeted at adolescent girls in Malawi. The program featured two distinct interventions: unconditional transfers (UCT arm) and transfers conditional on school attendance (CCT arm). Although there was a modest decline in the dropout rate in the UCT arm in comparison with the control group, it was only 43% as large as the impact in the CCT arm at th…

One Man's Sequential Land Alienation on the Great Plains
T HE study of the American frontier has long been dominated by a search for generalizations and abstractions, the most famous of which is the frontier thesis of Frederick Jackson Turner. This search either ignores or gives little importance to the role of individual settlers who went westward, took up land, and opened farms and ranches. The changing landscapes that resulted were not abstractions, but rather were the consequence of human toil and …
Patterns From Land Alienation Maps∗
Land entry and land patent data available in the original Land Office Tract Books and in the Numerical Index provide a seldom used datum plane for geographical investigation which is useful in developing the historical settlement geography of a region. Patterns of entries and patents in the Nebraska Sand Hills reflect restrictions imposed on man by the environment, the process of sequential settlement, abandoned geographical features, and other p…
Use and Abuse of the Timber Culture Act∗
The Timber Culture Act was one of the land laws used to enter and remove land from the public domain between 1873 and 1891. The Act was one aspect of the total adjustment necessitated in the settlers' occupance of the central grasslands of the United States, where the rainfall decreases rapidly westward. Tying the planting of trees to a gift of 160 acres of land was intended to increase the tree cover in order to modify the climate and provide a …
Forest Lieu Selections in the Sand Hills of Nebraska∗
The Forest Lieu Act of 1897, which permitted the exchange of privately owned land in forest reserves for “in lieu'’selections elsewhere, helped cattlemen in the Sand Hills of Nebraska gain control of water and wet hay valleys before settlement of the area was accelerated with the 640-acre homesteads established by the Kinkaid Act of 1904. The cattlemen chose locations they desired for selectors to patent “in lieu'’of forest land, and then purchas…
