Women's Power, Conditional Cash Transfers, and Schooling in Nicaragua (2008, result): “Our approach is similar to two previous studies which measure the effect of economic shocks (Maluccio, 2005 and De Janvry et al. 2006) on the impacts of RPS and Progresa, respectively.”
Conditional, unconditional and everything in between: a systematic review of the effects of cash transfer programmes on schooling outcomes (2014, background): “A large and empirically well-identified body of evidence has demonstrated the ability of CCTs to raise schooling rates in the developing world (Schultz 2004; de Janvry et al. 2006; among many others).”
Agriculture and Development: A Brief Review of the Literature (2011, unknown): “As a positive example, households that suffered from income shocks and received conditional cash transfers in the Progresa program in Mexico have shown lower school dropout rates than non-recipients (Alderman, 2007; de Janvry et al., 2006).”
Exposure to Floods, Climate Change, and Poverty in Vietnam (2016, background): “Given that poor people have consumption closer to subsistence, a substantial loss from floods in the absence of support can have high non-monetary costs in the form of irreversible impacts on children and distress sales of assets (de Janvry et al. 2006; World Bank and Australian AID 2014).”
Transfers, diversification and household risk strategies : experimental evidence with lessons for climate change adaptation (2012, unknown): “Evidence has shown that interventions such as safety nets, food aid or cash transfers can provide short-term protection against shocks (Dercon and Krishnan, 2004; Yamano et al., 2005; de Janvry et al., 2006; Skoufias, 2007).”
The Schooling Decision: Family Preferences, Intergenerational Conflict, and Moral Hazard in the Brazilian Favelas (2012, background): “For the effect of CCTs on child labor supply when the household is exposed to shocks, see de Janvry et al. (2006).”
Education, Marriage, and Fertility: Long-Term Evidence from a Female Stipend Program in Bangladesh (2017, background): “…have been well-identified studies that show positive effects of CCT programs on education, long-term evidence beyond direct effects on education is still scarce (see Schultz 2004; De Janvry et al. 2006; Attanasio et al. 2010; and Filmer and Schady 2011 for evaluation of CCT programs on education).”
Do Natural Disasters Affect Human Capital? An Assessment Based on Existing Empirical Evidence (2010, background): “Nevertheless, the income effect of the transfers was still not sufficient to affect household behavior with respect to the use of child work in response to shocks (de Janvry et al., 2006).”
