Long-Term Impacts of Conditional Cash Transfers: Review of the Evidence (2019, methodology): “To assess long-term differential impacts, Behrman, Parker, and Todd (2009a, 2011) examine this cohort in 2003 (i.e., at ages 15–21) and exploit the initial experimental evaluation design in which the 506 eligible rural communities were randomly assigned to treatment (320) and control (186) groups.”
Debunking the Stereotype of the Lazy Welfare Recipient (2015, unknown): “For example, a benefit of cash transfers could potentially be a reduction in child labor and a concurrent increase in the child’s education (see Behrman, Parker, and Todd 2011).”
Liquidity, Risk, and Occupational Choices (2010, unknown): “Behrman et al. [2011], however, provide some indirect test of recall bias in this setting.”
Latin America's Social Policy Challenge: Education, Social Insurance, Redistribution (2013, background): “Children in benefi ciary households complete more schooling—for example, Behrman, Parker, and Todd (2011) conclude that three years of PROGRESA transfers in Mexico result in approximately 0.3 more years of completed schooling (relative to no transfers).”
The effects of cash transfers on adult labor market outcomes (2018, background): “Behrman et al. (2011) observe weak positive effects on working (labor force participation) for females who were 13–15 just prior to the start of PROGRESA 6 years later.”
Econometric Methods for Program Evaluation (2018, background): “Examples include conditional transfer programs (Behrman et al., 2011), health care interventions (Newhouse, 1996; Finkelstein et al.”
The Heterogeneous Impact of Conditional Cash Transfers (2013, background): “Almost six years after the treatment, older children exposed to the education transfers gained 0.7-1 more grades in school, but with no effects on achievement tests (Behrman et al., 2010, 2011).”
Improving Educational Outcomes in Developing Countries: Lessons from Rigorous Evaluations (2014, background): “However, these studies have also not found any impacts on student achievement (Behrman et al., 2011; Filmer & Schady, 2011).”
