Charcoal remains the primary cooking-fuel of one-third of humanity, with important negative consequences for forests, wildlife and climate change. As access to electricity is steadily increasing, our randomized control trial asks whether electric cooking can become a credible alternative to charcoal in the context of a low-income country, the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We study the impact on the demand for charcoal and mechanisms that could encourage adoption. Our first results show that the adoption of energy-efficient electric cookers lead to a 21% increase in electricity consumption in the 12 months following the start of the experiment, and in a 30% decrease in charcoal consumption after 6 and 12 months. They highlight that it can be profitable for energy distributors to subsidize the initial purchase of a cooker ($80) and reimburse themselves through increased electricity revenues (+$115 over five years using a 10% discount rate) and carbon finance (over 6t CO2eq per cooker, $10-15/t). As credit constraints are a key barrier preventing households to transition towards green, reliable but expensive cooking technologies, such business model has the potential to accelerate the transition towards clean cooking, with important benefits for all beings, whether they are human or not.

In developing countries, untreated sewage exposes people to alarming water pollution levels, yet there is limited knowledge about the effectiveness of wastewater treatment investments. I evaluate the effect of wastewater treatment on water quality and downstream infant mortality in India, exploiting the staggered introduction of urban sewage treatment plants over the period 2010-2020. I match granular data on sewage treatment plants, river water quality, as well as child births and deaths using the hydrological network. I show that after starting wastewater treatment, levels of fecal coliforms – a commonly used measure of fecal contamination in water –decreased by 50%. Mortality under the age of six months declined by 20% downstream of the plants, with larger effects for boys and children from the bottom wealth quintiles. The results are consistent across several estimators robust to heterogeneous treatment effects, are not driven by selective migration, and are only found downstream of the plants, which rules out confounding effects from other local policies. A back-of-the-envelope calculation suggests that starting wastewater treatment earlier – from 2010 – in urban areas later selected into treatment – after 2020 – would have prevented over 40,000 child deaths in downstream sub-basins.

This study aims to examine how insecurity along main migration routes in Mali affects households’ ability to rely on migration as a risk-coping and income-smoothing strategy. Exploiting detailed data on the stock of economic migrants and the origin of remittances received from a set of 13 destinations in neighboring countries and regions of Mali, I first estimate additional migration costs generated by insecurity with a gravity model. In a second step, I analyse the effect of average road insecurity faced by each of the localities on their migration outcomes. The findings show that both the aggregate stock of economic migrants and new seasonal departures in migration are reduced for households in localities with high average road insecurity, so that reduction in accessibility of some destinations due to conflict is not fully offset by migration to alternative destinations. These effects are significantly larger for localities affected by droughts.

With the 2004 Civil Marriage Act, Chile is to date the last country to make divorce legal. The new law established women’s right to child support and financial compensation for home production during marriage. While previous literature associates easier divorce with lower investment in marriages, we find preliminary evidence that marriage rates and fertility were positively affected by the law which also reduced female labor supply and assortative matching, with important disparities by schooling attainment. These patterns suggest that marital investment was risky for women in the event of informal separations and that child support, alimony, and the option to remarry provide insurance against that risk, making marriage more appealing.

Cost and medical uncertainty in health care seeking (joint work with Alina Imping and Andreas Landmann)
Health care decisions are sometimes a matter of life and death, but also their financial consequences can be disastrous for many households around the world. While one can imagine how the fear of making an expensive mistake may deter households from making otherwise sensible health care choices, there is almost no scientific evidence on the importance and joint role of medical and financial uncertainty. In this paper, we first provide theoretical insights based on simulation exercises and develop a novel measurement instrument for medical and cost uncertainty using health vignettes. Initial analyses from data collected using this instrument with low-income households in Pakistan reveal that on top of many biases, both medical as well as cost uncertainty in health care decisions exist and may deter sensible health investments. As our results indicate potentially large dividends to providing accurate information, we are currently running an extended vignette survey that includes an RCT component with interventions targeted at changing medical and cost uncertainty separately and jointly.

Discrimination is often believed to be the result of deep-seated prejudice against a minority, or of beliefs that can only change upon the revelation of new information. But social context — in particular, how people behave differently in groups — may be a more important determinant of discrimination than traditional theories of discrimination suggest. This paper shows that involving majority-group members in a group discussion and hiring decision can sharply reduce hiring discrimination against a stigmatized minority. I focus on discrimination against the transgender community in India, a highly visible and economically vulnerable group. In a control condition, participants on average sacri?ce almost double their daily food expenditure to avoid selecting a transgender individual to deliver food to their home. But if they were earlier involved in a group discussion and collective hiring decision with two of their neighbours, they no longer discriminate at all, even when making subsequent choices in private. This effect is stronger than the effect of informing people about the legal rights of transgender people, and the reduction in discrimination partially persists until around 1 month later. The results appear to be driven by the emergence of a strong pro-trans norm in the groups, supported by pro-social reasons for selecting transgender workers that persuade others to discriminate less.

This paper analyzes the impact of mass migration on human capital accumulation at origin over a century. I examine one of the largest migration episodes in the XX century, the Galician diaspora in Latin America. Using data from different historical sources I build a unique database of all Galician villages from 1860 to today with information on migration, literacy rates, migrants' associations and their investments at origin. The identification relies on exogenous variation provided by pull and push factors in combination with a proxy of migrant networks. The results show that in the period 1900-1930, migration significantly increased literacy rates due to the selection of illiterate individuals into migration and an increase in the stock of literate ones. I provide suggestive evidence that literate migrants were more likely to return. Historical migration (1900-1930) is associated with more schools per capita and higher enrolment rates in the 1970s as well as higher schooling levels over 1981-2011. These findings are largely explained by the construction of schools by migrants' associations in 1910-1940 and by a change in perceptions about the value of education.

India’s National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA), the world’s largest public works program, has been demonstrated to have beneficial impacts on a wide range of outcomes, but its effects on agricultural productivity have been relatively understudied (Sukhtankar, 2017). I test whether NREGA modulates the impact of adverse weather shocks on agricultural yields. My empirical strategy exploits the staggered roll-out of NREGA and random fluctuations in weather. Using nationwide data, I find evidence that NREGA makes yields more sensitive to adverse weather shocks. The effects are most pronounced for labor-intensive crops, indicating that labor market effects may drive my results. My results suggest that the household-level consumption-smoothing benefits of NREGA must be balanced against the challenges to national food security that India faces, particularly in the face of climate change. Hence, implementing complementary programs such as investing in improved seed varieties, expanding extension services and promoting farm mechanization is critical.

Do women suffer more abuse from their partners during times of economic hardship? We address this inquiry by exploring whether and how exposure to rainfall shocks affects violence against women in rural Peru, where agriculture constitutes the main economic activity and crop yields largely depend on weather realizations. We fi nd sizable impacts: exposure to an event of drought (but not flood) during the last rainy season increases the prevalence of physical violence perpetrated by male partners against women by 65 percent. Moreover, we find that women are 60 percent more likely to suffer physical trauma from the abuse -- a result that is caused by the experience of more frequent, but not more severe, violent acts. These results may be explained by two underlying mechanisms: a decline in the time couples spend together that results from changes in spouses' employment patterns and that increases suspicion towards women and an increase in stress levels that leads to undesired behaviors such as alcohol-use disorders and alcohol-related aggressions from men.

We estimate the effect of a permanent income increase for poor elderly on their health outcomes. Our regression discontinuity design exploits an eligibility cutoff in a Chilean basic pension program that grants monthly payments of 40 percent of the minimum wage to pensionless retirees. Four years after applying, pension recipients are 2.5 percentage points less likely to die. Effects are concentrated on pension recipients living without working-age relatives, who in turn have more children. This seems explained by pre-existing income transfers from working-age relatives to retirees, which cease when payments begin. Results suggest that increasing income for older individuals reduce health inequalities across income groups, and mitigate the intergenerational transmission of poverty by alleviating the financial burden on younger relatives.

To what extent does the presidential appointment of judges in the superior courts impact judicial decision making? We document a substantial increase in judicial independence and reduced case delay in Pakistan, as a result of a judicial selection reform in 2010 that changed the selection procedure of the judges from the president appointing the judges to the selection of judges by a judicial commission. Using mandatory retirement age as an instrument for new appointments, we are able to estimate the causal effect of the new appointment procedure on judicial independence and case delay. Better enforcement of laws regulating land disputes with government agencies is the key mechanism driving these results. We further show that the judges selected under the new procedure are significantly less likely to be politically active prior to their appointments or receive the controversial “Prime Minister’s Assistance Package” (that awards residential plots to the judges). The new judges who did accept the package are more likely to rule in favour of the government.

We examine the impacts on education of the rapid growth of FDI jobs in Vietnam between 2000 and 2008. We exploit the variation in timing of FDI job growth across provinces in Vietnam. Using cohort analysis from census data we demonstrate that FDI has mixed effects on years of schooling that depend critically on the exact specification. We supplement this analysis with nationally representative individual panel data that allows us to observe individual-level transitions from attending school to not attending school. We find evidence of an increase in school attendance in response to FDI jobs, but mixed evidence on the highest grade completed.

Cross-country studies associate financial liberalization with increases in aggregate productivity. This paper argues that this finding can be mainly attributed to reductions in distortions in capital markets that promote competition and encourage firms' investments in technology. I first develop a simple small open economy model in which capital controls distort access to international borrowing. I show that this distortion can affect market competition and firms’ innovation incentives. Financial liberalization removes this distortion and fosters investments in technology through two forces. First, better credit conditions encourage firms that gain access to international funds to raise their innovation efforts. Second, their market rivals respond to the threat of competition by innovating more. In my empirical analysis, I test the implications of the model using firm-level census data around the deregulation of international financial flows in Hungary. I exploit differences in the access to international borrowing prior to the reform as a source of cross-sectional variation. The results confirm that firms that gain access to international funds increased their productivity and their probability of undertaking innovation activities. I provide direct evidence that this is due to greater use of external funds. Responding to the tighter competition, their market rivals also increased their investments in technology. Tougher competition is also observed in reductions in markups, industry concentration, and productivity and markup dispersions within sectors. At the macro level, a decomposition exercise shows that, reversing the previous pattern of growth, the increase in within-firm productivity explains the bulk of the expansion aggregate productivity growth following the liberalization.

Both politicians and bureaucrats are claimed as crucial to development and growth. This paper investigates key margins of interaction between these groups. Using data from the Federal Government of Nigeria, I study how political incentives influence which organizations politicians delegate to. Second, I collect surveys of a representative sample of civil servants from these organizations, and use them to investigate whether politicians follow up this delegation by directly engaging with bureaucrats. I find that politicians facing political competition delegate to more effective organizations, and engage with bureaucrats more intensively. Finally, I use evaluation data on the implementation of 4493 public projects implemented by these organizations to assess how delegation and engagement affects project implementation. I find that delegation to agencies isolated from political interference improves project completion rates by roughly a third. The impacts of political engagement vary by the extent to which politicians face political competition. When politicians face low levels of competition, their engagement with bureaucrats retards project implementation significantly. When they face high political competition, the excesses of their negative behavior are constrained analogously to how market competition constrains the excesses of firm activity. The findings provide micro-level evidence of the changes in politician behavior that are induced by political competition, and the subsequent impacts on project implementation.

This article studies the within household time re-allocation generated by a social program in rural Colombia, differentiating the impact on children who lag behind in school. Children lagged behind in school tend to decrease their time in school activities and increase that in work with time, effect that is offset by the program. Results indicate that the program increases time spent at school activities equally for all type of children, though decreases time spent in income generating activities only for those lagged behind in school. At analyzing parents' time allocation, substitution in work activities comes from the mother rather than from the father, driven by households where the mother participates in the labor market.

Why and how should the migration of a household member affect the labor supply of the family left behind ? This paper provides a simple theoretical framework to reconcile previous apparently conflicting results. Assuming a unitary model of the family and that migration is motivated only by earnings differential, I show first that migration reduces the wage labor of members left behind but can also increase their self-employed labor such as farm work. Second, that the family left behind does not increase its farm labor enough to offset completely the decrease in inputs of farm labor induced by the out-migration of a household member. Consequently, the total labor input on the farm, as well as the production output, declines ; or remains unchanged. Using an original panel data from the Mexican Family Life Survey and instrumental variable estimation, I find that families reduce their participation (and hours) in wage work (non agricultural) and increase their self-employed labor (especially farming) in response to the international migration of a household member in the U.S. . This increase in self-employed work is not associated with an increase in the household production output or labor input. The estimates additionally suggest that U.S. migration does not increase the acquisition (or expenditures) of non-labor agricultural inputs (livestock, fertilizers, pesticides, seeds...). These results are consistent with the predictions of the model.

This paper explores whether part of the sex industry in Thailand is explained by the presence of U.S. military personnel during the Vietnam War. We rely on prostitution data at a disaggregated level reporting the number of sex workers and the type of establishments and on data sets indicating the U.S. military bases in Thailand, contracts between locals and the U.S. Army as well as the bilateral transfers between the two countries. We find that this sudden demand boom during the war had long-run local effects on the sex industry. There is a positive relationship between the current number of sex workers and the location of U.S. military bases during the war. We examine historical evidence and exploit the presence of non U.S. military bases and the distance to the war front to verify that our results are not driven by selection or omitted variables. The evidence suggests that the current comparative advantage of Thailand in the sex industry may be explained by the evolution of norms and by the role of economies of scale. We then rely on the local demand boom during the war to analyze the economic consequences of the sex industry on other outcomes such as women's education and the size of the informal sector.
