Does Globalization Increase Child Labor? Evidence from Vietnam (2002, neutral): “A household model by Ranjan (2001), where child labor stems from credit constraints, also yields an ambiguous relationship between trade policy and child labor.”
The influence of market wages and parental history on child labour and schooling in Egypt (2006, background): “…child labor would exist because income is distributed unequally enough that families still must send their children to work in order to sustain themselves.9 Ranjan (2001) explores in a theoretical framework the relationship between inequality and child labor, but when credit constraints exist.”
Will trade sanctions reduce child labour?: The role of credit markets (2002, background): “in Ranjan (1999) are permanent, we consider temporary sanctions.”
A Theory of the Worst Forms of Child Labour (2005, positive): “Rialp (1993), Mullings (1999), Kempadoo (1999) and Narayan (2000), for example, all provide empirical support to our assumption of choice.”
The macroeconomics of child labor regulation (2005, neutral): “…that is not present in the existing literature.6 Other reasons why child labor may be inefficient are presented by Baland and Robinson (2000), Dessy and Pallage (2001), and Ranjan (2001), who explore the role of imperfections in financial markets and additional forms of coordination failure.”
The effect of trade liberalization on child labor (2005, background): “Several theory models address the relationship between product prices, trade policy, and child labor (Maskus (1997), Brown (2000), Dixit (2000), Ranjan (2001)).”
Child labor and agricultural shocks (2006, positive): “Second, our work explores the role of asset holdings in determining a household’s response to shocks, and as such relates to both the recent theoretical literature on the role of credit constraints in explaining child labor (Baland and Robinson, 2000; Ranjan, 2001 ) and the buffer stock literature ”
Child labor and schooling responses to anticipated income in South Africa (2006, background): “With substantive liquidity constraints, actions design to prohibit child labor directly (such as trade sanctions) may impose costs on the poorest parents rather than the most callous and could, in the end, serve to exacerbate child labor and worsen schooling (Ranjan 2001).”
Poverty Alleviation and Child Labor (2008, background): “Basu, Das, and Dutta (2009) emphasize that the luxury axiom can be viewed as a characterization of the child labor decision in a model with more standard (continuous) preferences.”
Child Labor in the Global Economy (2005, background): “The ILO’s SIMPOC estimates that a total of 8.4 million children are involved in child trafficking, in forced or bonded labor, are soldiers, are prostitutes or involved in pornography or participate in illicit activities (ILO, 2002).”
The “Bad Labor” Footprint: Quantifying the Social Impacts of Globalization (2014, background): “Many studies conclude that trade openness and foreign investments increase income, reduce inequalities, and thus have positive effects in labor conditions in domestic production, such as the reduction of child labor [21–26].”
Trade Openness, Foreign Direct Investment and Child Labor (2004, neutral): “It is clear from the literature review that the traditional and most popular measure of the incidence of child labor is the labor force participation rate of children aged 10–14 years. It will also be the dependent variable in our main estimations and is taken from World Bank (2001). As mentioned in”
