The Experience of Conditional Cash Transfers in Latin America and the Caribbean (2006, positive): “For girls, the observed increase in schooling comes at the price of reduced leisure because girls’ work, primarily non-market, is more compatible with schooling (Skoufias and Parker, 2001).”
Time Pressed and Time Poor: Unpaid Household Work in Guatemala (2010, background): “Time and task allocation also changes indirectly as children and young adults whose families are enrolled in these programs reduce their time in paid and unpaid work, potentially requiring other household members to increase their time in these activities (see Emmanuel Skoufias 2001 and Emmanuel S”
Child Schooling and Child Work in the Presence of a Partial Education Subsidy (2017, methodology): “Second, Pan-tawid was explicitly modeled after Prospera in terms of both conditions and relative transfer size to household income (Barber and Gertler 2008; Skoufias and Parker 2001).”
Family Networks and School Enrolment: Evidence from a Randomized Social Experiment (2007, result): “If children are substitutes for adults in the local labor market so that their wages are positively correlatedwith adultwages, and if boys aremore likely to be engaged in labor market activities relative to girls—as documented by Skoufias and Parker (2001), then the results suggest themagnitude of t”
Impacts of Conditional Cash Transfer Programs on Educational Outcomes in Developing Countries (2012, positive): “Skoufias and Parker (2001) (First Author Skoufias for Progresa) reports effects for three post-treatment periods and we compute one effect size per measurement period.”
The Demand for Energy-Using Assets among the World's Rising Middle Classes (2016, background): “transfers (Parker and Skoufias, 2000 and Skoufias and Parker, 2001). Although Albarran and Attanasio (2004) find that transfers lead to statistically significant but small reductions in private remittances to households that receive remittances, only 7% of households receive remittances at all.”
Welfare programs and labor supply in developing countries: experimental evidence from Latin America (2012, positive): “1 Behrman and Todd (1999), Skoufias et al. (1999), Skoufias and Parker (2001) and Gertler (2004), among others, describe the original experimental evaluation strategy of Mexico’s PROGRESA on which the evaluations of RPS and PRAF were based.”
Efficient Responses to Targeted Cash Transfers (2013, background): “The experimental evidence on PROGRESA has not shown any impacts on adult labor supply ðsee Skoufias and McClafferty 2001; Skoufias and Parker 2001; Skoufias and Di Maro 2008Þ.”
The diffusion of Conditional Cash Transfer programs in the Americas (2011, methodology): “PROGRESA received early attention from international organizations such as the World Bank and international non-governmental organizations such as the IFPRI (see, for example, Skoufias, 2002; Skoufias and Parker, 2001; Teruel and Davis, 2000).”
The Unpaid Care Work–Paid Work Connection (2008, neutral): “…new buildings closer to place of residence providing greater accessibility, training early-childhood educators, etc. may be more needed and cost-effective than conditional transfers as a way of improving education for poor families (Coady and Parker, 2002; Skoufias and Parker, 2001; Hirway, 2006).”
