Do Safety Net Transfers Improve Diets and Reduce Undernutrition? Evidence from Rural Ethiopia
研究埃塞俄比亚生产安全网计划对家庭饮食多样性和儿童营养的影响，发现该计划未达到预期效果，建议结合营养信息等额外干预。
In this paper we examine the impact of the Ethiopia’s Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP) on household dietary diversity and child nutrition using both waves of the Ethiopian Socioeconomic Survey. For identification, we use various methodologies. Results indicate consistently that PSNP has not had the desired effect on household dietary diversity or child nutrition regardless of model specification or methodology, suggesting that perhaps the transfers need to be paired with additional interventions such as information about nutrition.
