Abstract
|
Before
This project will create a dataset consisting of the children of individuals who themselves previously benefited from a randomized health (deworming), vocational education, and/or cash grant intervention. The project will exploit experimental variation to estimate the causal impact of these earlier programs on the health, cognitive development, and other outcomes of the recipients’ children, overcoming the key methodological problem of confounding. The project will survey approximately 7,000 children of the 7,500 respondents in the Kenya Life Panel Survey (KLPS), creating the new KLPS-Kids dataset, to estimate the extent to which a health program can help break the intergenerational transmission of poverty. Note that a pilot version of this trial was previously registered as AEA RCT #728.

After
This project will create a dataset consisting of the children of individuals who themselves previously benefited from a randomized health (deworming), vocational education, and/or cash grant intervention. The project will exploit experimental variation to estimate the causal impact of these earlier programs on the health, cognitive development, and other outcomes of the recipients’ children, overcoming the key methodological problem of confounding. The project will survey approximately 7,000 children aged 3-8 of the 7,500 respondents in the Kenya Life Panel Survey (KLPS), creating the new KLPS-Kids dataset, to estimate the extent to which these programs can help break the intergenerational transmission of poverty. Note that a pilot version of this trial was previously registered as AEA RCT #728.
