Should Cash Transfers Be Conditional? Conditionality, Preventive Care, and Health Outcomes
研究一个条件性现金转移项目，发现仅对登记前出生的儿童要求预防性就诊条件，导致登记后出生的儿童预防性就诊减少50%，并证实预防保健改善儿童健康。
We study a Conditional Cash Transfer program in which the cash transfers to the mother only depend on the fulfilment of the national preventive visit schedule by her children born before she registered in the program. We estimate that preventive visits of children born after the mother registered in the program are 50 percent lower because they are excluded from the conditionality requirement. Using the same variation, we also show that attendance to preventive care improves children health.
