Do agricultural support and cash transfer programmes improve nutritional status
Agricultural support and cash transfer programmes are both used to improve nutrition outcomes in developing countries. Our review of both programmes based on a literature search of over 22 000 articles in 8 databases has four key findings. First, these programmes often increase total food consumption, but half of agricultural programmes do not measure changes in total food consumption; (2) over 20% of cash transfer programmes fail to improve the …
Generational Norms of Reporting Violence in Nyarugusu Refugees Camp
Terrorism and women’s employment in Afghanistan
Afghanistan is one of the most dangerous countries for women and has the sixth lowest women’s employment rate globally. Evidence shows that security concerns prevent women from working, but there is little work estimating the magnitude of or mechanism behind these effects. We address this gap in the literature by estimating the relationship between increased terrorist attacks and women’s employment using the Global Terrorism Database (GTD) and th…

Reporting Violence Against Children: Social Norms in Nyarugusu Refugees Camp
There is substantial evidence to show that the two million children living in refugee camps are vulnerable to violence, although little is known about under what circumstances children will report that violence, complicating efforts to reduce vulnerabilities. We presented 300 children in a Tanzanian refugee camp (Nyarugusu) with hypothetical vignettes regarding a victim’s response to violence. Vignette characteristics were randomized (e.g. victim…
Early-Childhood Nutrition and Educational Conditional Cash Transfer Programmes
Conditional cash transfer (CCT) programmes have been linked to improvements in education, but effects on nutritional status are unclear. We develop a theoretical household model demonstrating how CCTs’ educational requirements may constrain households to shift resources from younger to older children to sustain school attendance. This could limit households’ capacity to invest in young children's nutritional status, particularly given a negative …
How Effective are Cash Transfers at Improving Nutritional Status
Fair Trade-Organic Coffee Cooperatives, Migration, and Secondary Schooling in Southern Mexico
We explore three trends in rural southern Mexico (Fair Trade coffee, migration, and conditional cash transfers) that could explain the rapid rise in education from 1995–2005 using survey data from 845 coffee farming households in Oaxaca and Chiapas, Mexico. Results from a household fixed-effects model show that household participation in a Fair Trade-organic cooperative contributed to about a 0.7 year increase in schooling for girls. US migration…

Conditional Cash Transfers, Shocks, and School Enrolment in Nicaragua
This work estimates the impacts of a Nicaraguan cash transfer programme that pays households conditional on school attendance and family visits to health clinics and seminars. A model explores the impact on school enrollment of cash transfers given differences in household wealth, labour market opportunities, and negative shocks. A difference-in-difference estimation for distinct wealth cohorts reveals that the programme led to a significant impr…
