    Lack of information about health risks may limit the adoption of improved nutritional and healthy behavior. This paper studies the effect of a nutrition information intervention on household dietary behavior, hemoglobin levels, and cognitive outcomes of children in rural India. Using experimental data and regression discontinuity design that exploits the exogenous cutoff of hemoglobin level for anemia, we find statistically insignificant treatment effects on dietary improvements, child health, and cognitive outcomes of children. Our findings suggest that light-touch nutrition information alone, even when parents are informed about the health risk of their children, may not promote healthy behavior and factors other than information might constrain households in making nutritional investments for their children.

    Turkey has experienced a large influx of Syrian refugees since the start of Syrian civil war. Integration and social cohesion are thus important questions and priorities of public policy in Turkey. We study social cohesion among young Turkish nationals and Syrian refugees. Our study sample comprises of adolescents and young adults (12-30 years), and children (6-11 years) who participated in events of "The Education Program for Syrian Refugees and Host Communities" (BILSY) project conducted by the German Corporation for International Cooperation (GIZ). Social cohesion among adolescents and young adults is measured by means of three dimensions - sense of belonging, trust, and relational capacity. For children, we use behavioural games to measure two dimensions of social cohesion - altruism and trust. Our results show high social cohesion for both age groups, though lack of reciprocal trust from Turkish nationals is an area of concern. We also evaluate the impact of participation in events of the BILSY project with a randomized design and find that it had no impact on social cohesion.

    Long-term follow-up of early childhood health interventions is important for human capital accumulation. We provide experimental evidence on child health and human capital outcomes from the longer-term follow-up of a school-based nutrition intervention in India. Using panel data, we examine the effectiveness of the use of iron and iodine fortified salt in school lunches to reduce anemia among school children. After four years of treatment, treated children, on average, have higher hemoglobin levels and a lower likelihood of anemia relative to the control group. Interestingly, the intervention did not have any impact on cognitive and educational outcomes.

    While the burden of non-communicable diseases is rising in low- and middle-income countries, the uptake of screening for these diseases remains low. We conducted a community-based RCT in Indonesia to assess whether personalized and targeted text messages can increase the demand for existing public screening services for diabetes and hypertension in the at-risk population. Our intervention increased screening uptake by approximately 6.6 percentage points compared to the pure control group. Among those, who received and read the messages, the effect size is 17 percentage points. The intervention appears to work through a reminder rather than a knowledge effect. We conclude that text messages can be a cheap and easily scalable tool to reduce testing gaps in a middle-income country setting.

    Existing estimates of the 'stock of missing women' suggest that the problem is mostly concentrated in South and East Asia, and often related to sex-selective abortions and postbirth neglect of female children. In contrast, estimates of yearly excess female deaths, referred to as the 'flow of missing women', suggest that gender bias in mortality is much larger than previously found (about 4 to 5 million excess female deaths per year vs. around 100 million missing women in total), is as severe among adults as it is among children in India, and is larger in Sub-Saharan Africa than in South and East Asia. We argue that these findings largely rely on the choice of the reference standard for sex-specific mortality and an incomplete correction for different disease environments in the flow measure. When alternative reference standards are used, the results of the flow measure can be reconciled with previous findings of the stock measure.

    This paper examines the causal impact of diagnostic efficiency on the COVID-19 pandemic in China. Using an instrumental variable approach, we show that a 1-day decrease in the time taken to confirm the first case in a city publicly led to 9.4% and 12.7% reductions in COVID-19 prevalence and mortality over the subsequent six months, respectively. The impact was larger for cities that are farther from the COVID-19 epicenter, are exposed to less migration, have more responsive public health systems, and have higher-capacity utilization of health systems. Social distancing and a less burdened health system are likely underlying mechanisms.

When alternative reference standards are used, the results of the flow measure can be reconciled with previous findings of the stock measure. Bestehende Schätzungen des "Bestands an fehlenden Frauen" deuten darauf hin, dass sich das Problem vor allem auf Süd- und Ostasien konzentriert und häufig mit geschlechtsselektiven Abtreibungen und der Vernachlässigung von Mädchen nach der Geburt zusammenhängt. Im Gegensatz dazu deuten Schätzungen des jährlichen Überschuss von weiblichen Todesfälle, die als "Strom fehlender Frauen" bezeichnet werden, darauf hin, dass die geschlechtsspezifische Verzerrung der Sterblichkeit viel größer ist als bisher angenommen (etwa 4 bis 5 Millionen überzählige weibliche Todesfälle pro Jahr gegenüber etwa 100 Millionen fehlenden Frauen insgesamt), dass sie in Indien bei Erwachsenen ebenso schwerwiegend ist wie bei Kindern und dass sie in Subsahara Afrika größer ist als in Süd- und Ostasien. Wir argumentieren, dass die Ergebnisse des Strommaßes weitgehend auf den verwendeten Referenzstandard für die geschlechtsspezifische Sterblichkeit und eine unvollständige Korrektur für unterschiedliche Krankheitsumfelder zurückzuführen sind. Wenn alternative Referenzstandards verwendet werden, können die Ergebnisse des Strommaßes mit früheren Ergebnissen des Bestandsmaßes in Einklang gebracht werden.

    Evidence from randomized controlled trials suggests that interventions relying on community involvement through a participatory learning and action (PLA) approach can improve health outcomes in resource-poor settings. However, whether PLA-based interventions remain effective after scale-up is only poorly understood. In a cluster-randomized controlled trial in Bihar, India, we assessed whether the PLA approach improved health, nutrition, water, sanitation, and hygiene (HNWASH) outcomes in adults and children when implemented at large scale by a government-supported agency. The intervention consisted of trained female facilitators conducting a series of 20 structured participatory meetings about key HNWASH topics in state-supported women's groups. In contrast to the strong results of small-scale trials, we do not observe systematic improvements in HNWASH knowledge, attitudes, behaviour or health outcomes but document irregularities in the implementation of the intervention. These findings call for caution when promising public health interventions are transformed into large policy programmes.

    The lottery of birth draws some children into deprived environments and others into environments where they thrive. In a field experiment in rural India with 10-20 months old children we test two scalable interventions to reduce early disadvantages in health and mental development. We distribute a durable device for home iron fortification of meals, called the Lucky Iron Leaf, and picture books together with a training for caregivers in dialogic reading. We find no significant average impact of either intervention on anemia or mental development. However, we find a cross-productivity of children’s baseline health and the interventions’ effectiveness. Children, who are non-anemic at baseline, improve in receptive language skills by half a standard deviation one year after implementation.

Durch die Lotterie der Geburt wachsen manche Kinder in einem benachteiligten Umfeld auf und andere in einem Umfeld, in denen sie florieren. In einem randomisierten Feldexperiment im ländlichen Indien mit 10-20 Monate alten Kindern testen wir zwei skalierbare Interventionen, um frühe Benachteiligungen in Gesundheit und geistiger Entwicklung zu verringern. Die Interventionen bestehen aus (i) der Vergabe eines haltbaren Kochutensils namens "Lucky Iron Leaf" zur häuslichen Eisenanreicherung von Mahlzeiten und (ii) der Vergabe von Bilderbüchern zusammen mit einem Eltern-Training im Dialogic Reading. Ein Jahr nach der Durchführung der Maßnahmen ergeben sich im Durchschnitt keine signifikanten Auswirkungen der beiden Interventionen auf Anämie oder geistige Entwicklung. Jedoch ergibt sich eine Kreuzproduktivität zwischen der Gesundheit der Kinder zu Beginn der Studie und der Wirksamkeit der Interventionen. Kinder, die zum Zeitpunkt der Maßnahme nicht anämisch sind, verbessern ihre rezeptiven Sprachkenntnisse um eine halbe Standardabweichung.

    While economic growth in many low- and middle-income (LMICs) has led to the reduction of poverty and undernutrition, some of these LMICs are undergoing a simultaneous increase in overnutrition and micronutrient deficiency. Urbanization is one of the widely attributed factors for this nutrition transition. However, urbanization in many LMICs is non-linear, messy, and hidden. Due to this, there has been a horizontal and outward growth of cities extending their formal boundaries. This has resulted in the creation of complex rural-urban interfaces at the peripheries of rapidly urbanizing cities...

However, today 250 million children younger than 5 years in low-income and middle-income countries are likely not to attain their full development potential. To overcome the obstacles to optimal human development, this dissertation examines the effect of determinants on the child, parent, school, or country level that determine child development. The first essay questions the robustness of parental preferences as the main determinants of the height gap between children in India and sub-Saharan Africa as Jayachandran & Pande (2...

    This paper examines the role of spousal trust in intra-household decision making through its potential of inciting the creation of information asymmetries in the presence of resource unobservability. We experimentally elicit spousal trust and trustworthiness by means of a binary trust game to assess heterogeneity in saving behavior among lowincome slum dwellers in urban India. 360 married couples were randomly assigned to either a control group, receiving a shared saving device (a lockbox), or a treatment group, receiving a private saving device (a zip-purse) in addition to the lockbox. We find that the supplementary receipt of the private device significantly increased the wife's savings in couples with a low level of spousal trust. In couples with higher levels of trust, the effect coefficient turned negative. While this heterogeneity is driven by the wife's mistrust in absence of her husband's trustworthiness, we provide supportive evidence of an important channel being more effective hiding of the wife's savings amounts, facilitated through the private saving device. From a policy perspective, our findings have important implications for the design and evaluation of household-based (saving) interventions by offering a novel explanation for existing discrepancies between their observed and intended effects.

    A crucial prerequisite for the success of development interventions is their uptake by the targeted population. We use the set-up of interventions conducted in Indonesia and Pakistan to investigate dis-/incentivising factors for a programme's uptake and support. Making use of a framework grounded on psychological theory - The Theory of Planned Behaviour - we consider three determinants for intervention uptake: personal attitudes; subjective norms (influenced by important others); and the perceived ease of performing the desired behaviour. As most development interventions are characterised by a cooperation between local and international agents, we investigate a potentially important dis-/incentivising factor further: the salience of the implementer's background. Our findings show that attitudes, subjective norms, and ease of use are indeed associated with increased uptake in our two culturally different settings. Conducting a framed field experiment in Indonesia, we go on to show that the study population in the Acehnese context exhibits higher levels of support for the project if the participation of international actors is highlighted. We find that previous experience with the respective actor is pivotal. To strengthen supportive behaviour by the target population for locally led projects, it is essential to foster local capabilities to create positive experiences. Hence, our results encourage development research and cooperation, first, to consider personal attitudes, subjective norms, and the perceived ease of use in the design of interventions in order to increase uptake. Second, and depending on the country context, implementers should consider previous experience with and attitude towards partners - either local or international - when aiming to achieve behavioural change.

    We propose an innovative child-specific measure of son preference. It allows to explicitly address birth order and sex composition effects. We first establish that, when using this child-specific measure, son preference is more common among later born children and in families with fewer sons. We then study the son preference-specific girl-penalty in early cognitive and non-cognitive skills. Son preferences have adverse effects on cognitive and language skills of two-year-old girls at higher birth orders, for girls with sisters and for girls of mothers with a high number of desired sons.

    Lack of information about health risks may limit adoption of improved nutritional and healthy behavior. This paper studies the effect of nutrition information intervention on household dietary behavior, child health, and cognitive ability of children in rural India. Using experimental data and regression discontinuity design that exploits the exogenous cutoff of hemoglobin level for anemia, we find statistically insignificant treatment effects on dietary improvements, child health, and cognitive outcomes of children. Our findings suggest that nutrition information alone, even when parents are informed about the anemia status of their children, may not promote healthy behavior and factors other than information might constrain households in making nutritional investments for their children.

    We use a dataset of the entire population of English Parliamentary enclosure acts between 1750 and 1830 to provide the first causal evidence of their impact. Exploiting a feature of the Parliamentary process that produced such legislation as a source of exogenous variation, we show that Parliamentary enclosures were associated with significantly higher crop yields, but also higher land inequality. Our results are in line with a literature going back to Arthur Young and Karl Marx on the effects of Parliamentary enclosure on productivity and inequality. They do not support the argument that informal systems of governance or "private orderings", even in small, cohesive, and stable communities, were able to efficiently allocate commonly used and governed resources

    Preventing infections is crucial for population groups that are at higher risk to experience a complicated disease course and have limited access to healthcare. Our research with lowincome households from Pakistan first documents gaps in knowledge and individual preventive practices in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, despite pervasive public information campaigns. Second, using a randomized experiment, we evaluate whether a more targeted and personalized SMS information campaign exploiting administrative health records could contribute to narrowing this gap. We find that the intervention helped the at-risk population to adhere to higher levels of handwashing in the time between the first and second wave of infections, and all message recipients were more than twice as likely to use tele-medical services compared to the control group.

    While the burden of non-communicable diseases is rising in low- and middle-income countries, the uptake of screening for these diseases remains low. We conducted a community-based RCT in Indonesia to assess whether personalized and targeted text messages can increase the demand for existing public screening services for diabetes and hypertension in the at-risk population. Our intervention increased screening uptake by approximately 6.6 percentage points compared to the pure control group. Among those, who received and read the messages, the effect size is 17 percentage points. The intervention appears to work through a reminder rather than a knowledge effect. We conclude that text messages can be a cheap and easily scalable tool to reduce testing gaps in a middle-income country setting.

    The literature on patent buyouts has focused on single-economy settings, where buyouts are welfare improving relative to patents unless there are frictions such as imperfect information or commitment problems. We expand the analysis to a world with two heterogeneous countries featuring different sizes and innovation capacities. Moving to an international setting introduces the tradeoff that buyouts help to reduce monopoly distortion but also eliminate profits from foreign markets. We show that this can rationalize why buyouts are not pursued even in the absence of information and commitment problems, and identify the conditions under which this is harmful to global welfare. Instead, countries in the model rely on a system of global patent protection paired with domestic price subsidies, and only intersovereign transfers can achieve a globally optimal buyout equilibrium. Our results suggest that buyouts are constrained not only by domestic frictions but also by a global public good dimension.

    This study investigates whether eligibility for antiretroviral therapy (ART) of HIV positive parents improved their children's educational attainment in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, employing a regression discontinuity design. We find that there is a positive impact of ART eligibility on paternal health, but this does not translate into general improvements of children's education. Instead, impacts differ by the previous reception of state support. Previous recipients of health-contingent state support can lose the state support after initiation of ART, as their health improves after ART is initiated. For these parents, we see a negative impact of ART eligibility on children's education, potentially driven by the negative impact on the household's wealth. In contrast, there is a positive impact of ART eligibility on children's education for fathers who previously received non-health-contingent state support.

    Several country-level studies have identified long-term adverse effects of in-utero exposure to the 1918 influenza pandemic (also known as the Spanish Flu) on economic outcomes. In-utero conditions are theoretically linked to adult health and socio-economic status through the fetal origins hypothesis. Historical exposure to the Spanish Flu provides a natural experiment to test this hypothesis. Although the Spanish Flu was a global phenomenon, with an estimated 500 million people infected worldwide, no comprehensive global study on its long-term economic effects exists. We address this gap by systematically analyzing harmonized census data from 51 countries. Using the same empirical approach as previous studies, we find no evidence of consistent long-term effects on educational attainment and employment. Overall, our results are difficult to reconcile with the view that in-utero exposure to the 1918 influenza pandemic was associated with important long-term adverse effects on economic outcomes at the population level. A comprehensive set of robustness checks do not alter this conclusion.

    "Stock estimates" of missing women suggest that the problem is concentrated in South and East Asia and among young children. In contrast, 'flow estimates' suggest that gender bias in mortality is much larger, is as severe among adults as it is among children in India and China, and is larger in Sub-Saharan Africa than in India and China. We show that the different stock and flow measure results rely on the choice of the reference standard for mortality and an incomplete correction for different disease environments in the flow measure. Alternative reference standards reconcile the results of the two measures.
