Grain Subsidy, Liquidity Constraints and Food security—Impact of the Grain Subsidy Program on the Grain-Sown Areas in China (2014, background): “As a subsidy program for stimulating grain production, the total budget for China’s grain subsidy program is much more in comparison to that of other countries such as Honduras, Mexico, Malawi and Nicaragua (Handa and Davis, 2006; Dorward and Chirwa, 2011).”
Children’s Schooling and Work in the Presence of a Conditional Cash Transfer Program in Rural Colombia (2010, neutral): “The upsurge in conditional cash transfer programs in developing countries has been matched by widespread evaluation of such programs, with the evidence all pointing to positive impacts on school enrollment (for a review, see Rawlings and Rubio 2005; and Handa and Davis 2006).”
Examining Conditional Cash Transfer Programs : A Role for Increased Social Inclusion? (2006, background): “The implementation of these complementary programs in conjunction with a CCT program is still incipient (Handa and Davis, 2006).”
The targeting effectiveness of social transfers (2017, background): “Geographical targeting is most effective in contexts where poverty rates are high and poverty is spatially concentrated, as Handa and Davis (2006) explain:”
The diffusion of Conditional Cash Transfer programs in the Americas (2011, background): “On the whole, these programs are thought to be more effective at addressing the sources of intergenerational poverty (Handa and Davis, 2006).”
Brazil's Bolsa Família: A Double-Edged Sword? (2008, background): “…strengthening human capital through Bolsa Famı́lia might be used perversely to actually justify lower levels of investment into basic education and health infrastructure in future on the grounds that poverty and inequality can be tackled most effectively through safety nets (Handa and Davis, 2006).”
The effects of conditional cash transfer programmes on adult labour supply: an empirical analysis using a time-series-cross-section sample of brazilian municipalities (2010, neutral): “See Killingsworth (1983) for a survey of rst-generation models of labour supply, and Blundell and Macurdy (1999) for a review of more recent models.”
From protection to production: productive impacts of the Malawi Social Cash Transfer scheme (2012, background): “However, the primary focus of cash transfer programmes on human capital accumulation of the young has led to some criticism that these programmes miss opportunities to be part of broader rural development programmes designed to alleviate poverty (Handa and Davis 2006).”
The Impact of Economic Resource Transfers to Women Versus Men (2012, background): “Much empirical and theoretical literature supports this programme design, suggesting that women are likely to use resources in ways that improve family well-being, especially that of children (e.g. Thomas, 1990; Haddad, Hoddinott and Alderman, 1997; Rawlings and Rubio, 2005; Handa and Davis, 2006).”
