Early-Childhood Nutrition and Educational Conditional Cash Transfer Programmes
研究有条件现金转移支付项目如何因教育要求导致家庭资源从幼儿转向学龄儿童，从而限制幼儿营养改善，尤其在收入冲击下，基于尼加拉瓜试点数据。
Conditional cash transfer (CCT) programmes have been linked to improvements in education, but effects on nutritional status are unclear. We develop a theoretical household model demonstrating how CCTs’ educational requirements may constrain households to shift resources from younger to older children to sustain school attendance. This could limit households’ capacity to invest in young children's nutritional status, particularly given a negative income shock. In a Nicaraguan pilot CCT, recipients’ consumption and nutritional status increased on average, but less in households with school-age children. Effects are stronger in communities dealt an exogenous income shock.
