Heterogeneous impact of cooperative membership on farmers’ welfare in Rwanda (2015, background): “The evaluation of development projects and public health programs (e.g. Basu et al., 2007; Behrman and Hoddinott, 2005; Lechner, 2002; Millimet and Tchernis, 2013) has moved beyond mean impact studies into studies”
Intrahousehold Bargaining and Resource Allocation in Developing Countries (2013, neutral): “The include programs in Mexico (Bobonis 2009, Behrman and Hoddinott 2005), India (Lim et al, 2010) and Nicaragua (Maluccio and Flores, 2005) among others.”
Timing and Duration of Exposure in Evaluations of Social Programs (2008, neutral): “If program uptake were perfect, a simple comparison between eligible children in the control and treatment localities would have been sufﬁcient to estimate the program TOT effect (Behrman and Hoddinott 2005).”
Are Cash Transfers Made to Women Spent Like Other Sources of Income (2007, background): “For example, PROGRESA has been shown to have positive effects on school enrollment (Schultz 2004; Behrman, Sengupta, and Todd 2005) and child health (Gertler 2004; Behrman and Hoddinott 2005; Rivera et al. 2004).”

Welfare programs and labor supply in developing countries: experimental evidence from Latin America (2012, positive): “While these controls may not be strictly necessary in the context of a randomized controlled trial, they allow for better controls for baseline differences in employment (see Table A2 and Behrman and Hoddinott, 2005) and may also induce a gain in precision (Duflo et al., 2008).”
