Commitments to save: a field experiment in rural Malawi (2011, background): “Another potential explanation for low savings levels in rural communities is the pressure to share income with spouses (see, e.g., Anderson and Baland 2002; Ashraf 2009; Schaner, 2012), relatives and friends (see, e.”
Measuring women’s decisionmaking: Indicator choice and survey design experiments from cash and food transfer evaluations in Ecuador, Uganda and Yemen (2015, positive): “The fourth uses experimental field-based games—for example, focused on trust, communications, savings, altruism, or risk—to understand how decisions are made within the household and other social settings (for example, Ashraf 2009 in the Philippines; Iverson et al. 2006 in Uganda).”
Measuring and Changing Control: Women's Empowerment and Targeted Transfers (2016, positive): “In asking these questions, we did not probe the participants on ‘tie breakers’ when they respond that they both decide on something, as done, for instance, by Ashraf (2009).”
The Cost of Convenience? (2017, positive): “They also contribute to the literature demonstrating that issues of control mediate the use of different savings technologies in large and important ways (Anderson and Baland 2002; Ashraf 2009; Ashraf et al. 2011; Chin et al. 2011; Schaner 2013a).”
Market inefficiencies and the adoption of agricultural technologies in developing countries 1 (2013, background): “Some decisions may be more subject to control by other members of the household, such as those with highly observable outcomes (Ashraf 2009), and new technologies may be allocated within the household to benefit the primary income earners (Hoffman 2009).”
Does Africa Need a Rotten Kin Theorem? Experimental Evidence from Village Economies (2012, methodology): “…51.9 percent when they receive the larger endowment.24 We further assume that income is observable whenever an individual is known to have received it with probability one, as in Ashraf (2009) and Goldberg (2010); income is unobservable whenever a person can plausibly deny having received it.”
Banking on Trust: How Debit Cards Enable the Poor to Save More (2017, background): “Second, intra-household bargaining issues may prevent women from saving at home (Anderson and Baland, 2002; Ashraf, 2009; Schaner, 2015).”
Missing Women and the Price of Tea in China: The Effect of Sex-Specific Earnings on Sex Imbalance (2008, neutral): “I repeat this estimate with continuous variables for the amount of tea and orchards planted in each county i. Columns (5)-(8) of Table IV show that the estimates have the same signs as the estimates with the dummy variables in columns (1)-(4).”
Limited insurance within the household: evidence from a field experiment in Kenya (2008, background): “What is important for my analysis is simply that, if the limited commitment constraint (4) does not bind, then optimality implies the well-known condition that the ratio of marginal utilities will be set equal to the Pareto weight , as in Equation (3).”
Who Wears the Pants? Gender Identity Norms and Intrahousehold Financial Decision‐Making (2017, neutral): “Examples include the work of Anderson and Baland (2002) and Ashraf (2009), who examine household savings in Kenya and the Philippines, respectively.”

Financing from Family and Friends (2016, background): “To determine whether A would rather sell risk to F than retain it, we plug (7) into (5), which consequently collapses to”
Rural Women’s Access to Financial Services: Credit, Savings, and Insurance (2014, background): “Ashraf (2009) finds that spouses in the Philippines sometimes choose to keep savings in accounts their spouses cannot access.”
