Antipoverty Transfers and Labour Market Outcomes: Regression Discontinuity Design Findings
研究哥伦比亚城市地区的有条件现金转移支付项目对成人劳动力市场结果的影响,发现项目效果显著、总体正面但存在异质性,表明反贫困转移支付促进了家庭生产资源的重新配置。
The article estimates the impact of Familias en Acción, a human development conditional cash transfer programme, on adult labour market outcomes in urban areas in Colombia. Relying on a regression discontinuity design and a large panel dataset, the article finds significant, largely positive, but heterogeneous programme effects on labour market outcomes. The findings suggest that antipoverty transfers enable a re-allocation of household productive resources among participant households.
