    Description

    We combine data from longitudinal surveys in seven low- and middle-income countries (plus the United States for comparison) to document that depressive symptoms among those aged 55 and above are prevalent in those countries and increase sharply with age. Depressive symptoms in one survey wave are associated with a greater decline in ability to carry out basic daily activities and a higher probability of death in the next wave. Using additional data from a panel survey we conducted in Tamil Nadu with a focus on elderly living alone, we document that social isolation, poverty, and physical health challenges are three of the leading correlates of depression. We discuss potential policy interventions in these three domains, including some results from our randomized control trials in the Tamil Nadu sample.

    Description

    We present results from six randomized control trials of an integrated approach to improve livelihoods among the very poor. The approach combines the transfer of a productive asset with consumption support, training, and coaching plus savings encouragement and health education and/or services. Results from the implementation of the same basic program, adapted to a wide variety of geographic and institutional contexts and with multiple implementing partners, show statistically significant cost-effective impacts on consumption (fueled mostly by increases in self-employment income) and psychosocial status of the targeted households. The impact on the poor households lasted at least a year after all implementation ended. It is possible to make sustainable improvements in the economic status of the poor with a relatively short-term intervention.

    Description

    The promise of randomized controlled trials is that evidence gathered through the evaluation of a specific program helps us—possibly after several rounds of fine-tuning and multiple replications in different contexts—to inform policy. However, critics have pointed out that a potential constraint in this agenda is that results from small "proof-of-concept" studies run by nongovernment organizations may not apply to policies that can be implemented by governments on a large scale. After discussing the potential issues, this paper describes the journey from the original concept to the design and evaluation of scalable policy. We do so by evaluating a series of strategies that aim to integrate the nongovernment organization Pratham's "Teaching at the Right Level" methodology into elementary schools in India. The methodology consists of reorganizing instruction based on children's actual learning levels, rather than on a prescribed syllabus, and has previously been shown to be very effective when properly implemented. We present evidence from randomized controlled trials involving some designs that failed to produce impacts within the regular schooling system but still helped shape subsequent versions of the program. As a result of this process, two versions of the programs were developed that successfully raised children's learning levels using scalable models in government schools. We use this example to draw general lessons about using randomized control trials to design scalable policies.

    Description

    The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel was established in 1968 with an endowment from the Swedish central bank, the Riksbank. The award is administered by the Nobel Foundation, although it is not one of the Nobel Prizes, which were established in the will of Alfred Nobel. The award is chosen using the same method as the original Nobel Prizes and is awarded at the same ceremony as the prizes in Physics, Chemistry, Medicine and Literature every year in Stockholm, while The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded at a different ceremony in Oslo, Norway. Well known public figures who have received the award in the past include Milton Friedman of the University of Chicago in 1976 and Paul Krugman of Princeton University in 2008. The 2022 Prize The winners of the prize in 2022 were Ben Bernanke, Douglas Diamond and Philip Dybvig for "research on banks and financial crises". Ben Bernanke is most well known as the former chairman of the Federal Reserve, where he oversaw the response to the Global Financial Crisis, as well as for his academic work on the causes of the 1929 Wall Street Crash and The Great Depression, which he conducted largely at Princeton. Diamond and Dybvig are the authors of a formal theoretical model, the Diamond-Dybvig model, which pioneered the modelling of bank runs and financial panics. While the decision to award the prize to Bernanke, Diamond and Dybvig has been praised for recognizing their contributions to the theoretical and historical study of banking and its relation to financial panics, others have criticized the decision as their work is seen as ignoring the development of non-bank financial intermediaries, as well as criticizing Bernanke for his policy response to the financial crisis. Diamond is the University of Chicago's fourteenth recipient of the award, while Bernanke is Princeton's ninth and Dybvig is the Wahington University of St. Louis' second. The 2023 Prize The winner of the 2023 prize was Claudia Goldin of Harvard University for "having advanced our understanding of women's labor market outcomes". Goldin is only the third woman to receieve the Sveriges Riksbank prize - Elinor Ostrom being awarded in 2009 and Esther Duflo in 2019 - and the first woman to receive the prize as a sole winner. Goldin is an economic historian and a labor economist by training, whose work has focused on the historical development of women's participation in the labor market and the effects, both on the economy and on wider society, that this has had. Goldin's career-long research into these topics was summarised in her 2019 book Career and Family: Women's Century-Long Jouney toward Equity, which pointed to the unequal pressures which women and men haved faced when building careers over the past century, as women have had to balance their professional ambitions with their traditional role in the household. Goldin is Harvard's 11th recipient of the prize and the first since Micheal Kremer was a recipient in 2019, meaning that the Cambridge, Massauchussetts, based univerity is now only three prizes behind the University of Chicago. The 2024 Prize The winners of the 2024 Economics Nobel will be announced in October 2024. As with every other year, there will be intense speculation as to who will be awarded the prize. The Nobel acts as a signifier as to which sub-fields within the academic discipline of economics are most relevant to the wider world and as to which scholars have made the most cutting-edge contributions over their careers. In the past sub-fields such as Behavioral Economics (for which Richard Thaler was awarded the prize in 2017), Environmental Economics (for which William Nordhaus was awarded the prize in 2018), and the leaders of the "credibility revolution" in economics (for which Card, Angrist, and Imbens were awarded in 2021), received much wider public recognition and understanding of their findings after receiving the Nobel. The Nobel Committee do not release a shortlist of potential recipients, so as always we do not know who is in the running to be next year's recipient(s). From looking at past recipients and the state of current research in economics, however, we have a decent idea of candidates who are likely to win a Nobel in their career, if not in 2024. One contender who has yet to be awarded the prize is Daron Acemoglu of MIT and his co-authors, for their work on the long-run development of institutions which facilitate or hinder economic growth. Other likely nominations could be economists from the school of New Keynesian macroeconomics, such as Olivier Blanchard, Larry Summers and Gregory Mankiw, or economists who work on the issue of inequality, such as Thomas Piketty, Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman.

    India Education Participation Child Test Panel: This data is tests of children’s reading and math ability. It was done both in school visits and during the household survey. The variable fromsurvey tells where the testing was done. Data from both the household survey and school visit testing has been merged together to form this dataset.

    India Education Participation Household Survey Child Panel: This survey was done of households, asking information on the household, parents, children, and schools. This also includes testing of children’s math and reading ability (see section “Child Testing”). It was determined that the school ID variable in “householdsurveyschool.tab” and both the school ID and teacher ID “householdsurveychild.tab” were unreliable and/or incomplete and therefore were dropped.

    India Education Participation VEC Member Turnover: This is administrative data that gives information about whether members of the VEC were members in the baseline and midline. There is no corresponding questionnaire. The data is organized as follows: For individuals in the baseline (surveyround = 1), the variable futmember is an indicator variable for whether the individual continues as a member of the VEC at the time of the midline. The variable surveyround takes the value of 0 if the individual does not continue as a member of the VEC at the time of the midline. Similarly, for individuals in the midline (surveyround = 2), the variable prevmember is an indicator for whether the individual in the midline was also a member of the VEC in the period of the baseline (and 0 otherwise). There are no observations for which both

    Description

    Abstract (en): Microfinance institutions have started to bundle their basic loans with other financial services, such as health insurance. Using a randomized control trial in Karnataka, India, we evaluate the impact on loan renewal from mandating the purchase of actuarially-fair health insurance covering hospitalization and maternity expenses. Bundling loans with insurance led to a 16 percentage points (23 percent) increase in drop-out from microfinance, as many clients preferred to give up microfinance than pay higher interest rates and receive insurance. In a Pyrrhic victory, the total absence of demand for health insurance led to there being no adverse selection in insurance enrollment.

    Description

    Context

    The Nobel Prize is a set of annual international awards bestowed by Swedish and Norwegian institutions in recognition of academic, cultural, or scientific advances.

    In 2019, 14 people were awarded with the Nobel Prize. Of these, only 1 was female (Esther Duflo, in the Economy category), representing 7% of the total in this year. And that makes it a pretty ordinary year, since the overall average is 0.47 women per year.

    In the last 20 years, there have been more female Nobel laureates than in the first 90 years. However, comparing percentage values of the first decade (1900-1909) to the last decade (2010-2019), the inscrease was from 5 to 10%. It is progressing in the right direction, but maybe not fast enough!

    Content

    This dataset is about women in Nobel prize from 1901 to 2019. It was obtained by simply extracting data from the Wikipedia pages about Nobel Prize.

    Description

    Abstract (en): We use a randomized experiment and a structural model to test whether monitoring and financial incentives can reduce teacher absence and increase learning in India. In treatment schools, teachers' attendance was monitored daily using cameras, and their salaries were made a nonlinear function of attendance. Teacher absenteeism in the treatment group fell by 21 percentage points relative to the control group, and the children's test scores increased by 0.17 standard deviations. We estimate a structural dynamic labor supply model and find that teachers respond strongly to financial incentives. Our model is used to compute cost-minimizing compensation policies.

    Description

    We examine how participation in a microfinance program diffuses through social networks. We collected detailed demographic and social network data in 43 villages in South India before microfinance was introduced in those villages and then tracked eventual participation. We exploit exogenous variation in the importance (in a network sense) of the people who were first informed about the program, "the injection points". Microfinance participation is higher when the injection points have higher eigenvector centrality. We estimate structural models of diffusion that allow us to (i) determine the relative roles of basic information transmission versus other forms of peer influence, and (ii) distinguish information passing by participants and non-participants. We find that participants are significantly more likely to pass information on to friends and acquaintances than informed non-participants, but that information passing by non-participants is still substantial and significant, accounting for roughly a third of informedness and participation. We also find that, conditioned on being informed, an individual's decision is not significantly affected by the participation of her acquaintances.

    Inspiration

    Abhijit Banerjee, Esther Duflo and Michael Kremer were awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics 2019, for their "experimental approach to alleviating global poverty." With their new approach to getting reliable answers on the best ways to combat global poverty, maybe some children's lives could be saved.
