Finance, Financial Sector Policies, and Long-Run Growth (2008, background): “Similarly, Dehejia and Gatti (2005) find that child labor rates are higher in countries with under-developed financial systems, while Beegle et al. (2007) show that transitory income shocks lead to greater increases in child labor in countries with poorly functioning financial systems.”
Can conditional cash transfer programs serve as safety nets in keeping children at school and from working when exposed to shocks (2006, background): “Jensen (2000) and Beegle et al. (2005) show that agricultural shocks increase child labor and reduce school attainment in Côte d’Ivoire and Tanzania, respectively.”
Access to Credit, Natural Disasters, and Relationship Lending (2012, background): “…potential micro-effects of credit-constraints arguing that access to credit can dilute the negative effects of aggregate shocks on consumption and similar outcomes (Jacoby and Skoufias, 1997; Beegle et al., 2006; Gitter and Barham, 2007; Khandker, 2007; Shoji, 2010; Becchetti and Castriota, 2011).”
Poverty Alleviation and Child Labor (2008, background): “First, participation in paid employment is not present in our baseline dataset until age 11 and exhibits a steep rise in incidence from age 13 on.”
Economics of child labour (2013, background): “They observe how a transitory income shock (measured by accidental crop loss) leads to an increase in child labour and how household access to credit moderates the effects of these shocks [Beegle et al. (2006)].”
Armed Conflict Exposure, Human Capital Investments, And Child Labor: Evidence From Colombia (2012, positive): “Similarly, Jacoby and Skoufias (1997) and Beegle et al. (2006) find that, within a credit constraint framework, income fluctuations affect school attendance (in the case of Indonesia) and labor supply (in the case of Tanzania) with respect to youths.”
International Migration, Remittances, and Household Investment: Evidence from Philippine Migrants' Exchange Rate Shocks (2008, neutral): “In focusing on a household-level shock, this article is reminiscent of studies of the impact of household-level events such as crop loss ( Beegle et al., 2006 ) or job loss (Duryea et al., 2003) on child labour.”
Child Schooling and Child Work in the Presence of a Partial Education Subsidy (2017, background): “Most of the empirical evidence on schooling and child labor supports this view (Beegle, Dehejia, and Gatti 2006; Bourguignon, Ferreira, and Leite 2003; Edmonds and Schady 2012; Ferreira, Filmer, and Schady 2009; Manacorda 2006; Ravallion and Wodon 2000; Schady et al. 2008).”
Household Access to Microcredit and Child Work in Rural Malawi (2008, neutral): “As Binder and Scrogin (1999) put it, there are at least four reasons for the objectionability of child labor.”
How Much Are We Willing To Pay to Send Poor Adolescents to School?: Simulating Changes to Mexico`s Oportunidades in Urban Areas (2009, positive): “These results are in line with the simulations exercises that follow Bourguignon, Ferreira and Leite (2003), including Bornhorst (2004), Hernández-Licona, Alcalá and Salomón (2005), and Azevedo and Robles (2008), as well as results that comes from structural models (Attanasio et al.”
Climate Change and Agriculture: Subsistence Farmers’ Response to Extreme Heat (2019, background): “This last result is consistent with findings in the literature on child labor showing that poor households may resort to employing children in productive activities when subject to negative income shocks (Bandara et al., 2015, Beegle et al., 2006).”
Access to Financial Services (2009, background): “For micro-level analysis, see among others Jacoby (1994), Guarcello, Mealli, and Rosati (2003), Jacoby and Skouﬁas (1997), and Beegle, Dehejia, and Gatti (2007) on the relation between durable asset holding, education, and child labor.”
Health shocks and consumption smoothing in rural households: Does microcredit have a role to play? (2012, background): “To examine the issue of whether health shocks are persistent or not, we estimate the following regression (see for example (Beegle et al., 2006)):”
