中文摘要
我们利用一项随机对照试验,研究一项大规模无条件现金转移支付项目对肯尼亚农村儿童社会偏好的影响。在现金转移支付三年后,我们通过调查问卷和有激励的行为博弈测度了4022名儿童的社会偏好。首先,我们发现该项目没有持续的经济效应。此外,我们没有发现一致的证据表明处理组儿童或溢出组儿童比对照组儿童更具或更不具亲社会性。然而,我们发现一些证据表明溢出家庭中的成人与儿童的心理福祉有所下降。
Abstract
We study the effects of a large unconditional cash transfer program on social preferences of children in rural Kenya using a randomized controlled trial. We measure the social preferences of 4022 children with survey questions and incentivized behavioral games three years after the cash transfer. First, we find no persistent economic effects of the program. Additionally, we find no consistent evidence that children from the treatment group or that children from the spillover group are more or less prosocial than children from the control group. However, we find some evidence of reduced psychological well-being among adults and children in spillover households.
