The Effect of Cash, Vouchers, and Food Transfers on Intimate Partner Violence: Evidence from a Randomized Experiment in Northern Ecuador (2016, unknown): “Absolute resource theory and stress theory from sociology predict that IPV decreases with transfers by improving a household’s economic situation and food security thereby reducing poverty-related stressors on couples and households (Fox et al. 2002; Vyas 2012).”
It’s not all about her: Men’s mate value and mate retention (2009, background): “Miner et al. (2009) also documented that a man’s mate value relates to his use of partner-directed insults.”
A Mixed-Method Review of Cash Transfers and Intimate Partner Violence in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (2018, background): “Absolute resource theory and stress theory hypothesize that CTs may lead to decreases in IPV by improving a household’s economic situation, thereby reducing poverty-related stressors on individuals and households (Fox et al. 2002; Ellsberg et al. 2015; Vyas and Watts 2009).”
Transfers, Behavior Change Communication, and Intimate Partner Violence: Postprogram Evidence from Rural Bangladesh (2019, background): “A second mechanism is that transfers increase total household income and reduce poverty-related stress, which may reduce the conflict within the household that precipitates violence (Buller et al., 2018; Ellsberg et al., 2015; Fox et al., 2002).”
