Livia Alfonsi; Michal Bauer; Julie Chytilová; Edward Miguel, 2024, "Replication Data for: Human capital affects religious identity: Causal evidence from Kenya", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/ZFZI3I, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:GrgM9AL/ipriHbDrhkekyg== [fileUNF]
We study how human capital and economic conditions causally affect the choice of religious denomination. We utilize a longitudinal dataset monitoring the religious history of more than 5000 Kenyans over twenty years, in tandem with a randomized experiment (deworming) that has exogenously boosted education and living standards. The main finding is t... |

The Kenya Life Panel Survey, Round 4 (KLPS-4) contains follow-up information, collected during 2017-2022, for a subset of individuals involved in the 1998-2003 Primary School Deworming Program or other child and adolescent human capital interventions in Busia District, western Kenya. |

Maximilian W. Muller; Joan Hamory; Jennifer Johnson-Hanks; Edward Miguel, 2023, "Replication Data for: The Illusion of Stable Fertility Preferences", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/YUB9K9, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:Q0Wp18/SMGcX3IicVYLtFg== [fileUNF]
Fertility preferences have long played a key role in models of fertility differentials and change. We examine the stability of preferences over time using rich panel data on Kenyan women’s fertility desires, expectations, actual fertility, and recall of desires in three waves over a nine-year period, when respondents were in their 20s. We find that... |

The Kenya Life Panel Survey, Round 3 (KLPS-3) contains follow-up information, collected during 2011-2014, for a subset of individuals involved in either the 1998-2003 Primary School Deworming Program or the 2001-2002 Girls' Scholarship Program in Busia District, western Kenya. (2021-12-30) |

Hamory, Joan; Miguel, Edward; Walker, Michael; Kremer, Michael; Baird, Sarah, 2021, "Replication Data for: Twenty Year Economic Effects of Deworming", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/TTYMHI, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:Kk4nLXuq3QqeU4Oslt5z6A== [fileUNF]
Estimating the impact of child health investments on adult living standards entails multiple methodological challenges, including the lack of experimental variation in health status, an inability to track individuals over time, and accurately measuring living standards and productivity in low-income settings. This study exploits a randomized school... |

Kramon, Eric; Hamory, Joan; Baird, Sarah; Miguel, Edward, 2020, "Replication Data for: Deepening or Diminishing Ethnic Divides? The Impact of Urban Migration in Kenya", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/B8TWK2, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:Jq3WuTBheIBvYyjk+Cloxw== [fileUNF]
The impact of urban migration on ethnic politics is the subject of longstanding debate. “First generation” modernization theories predict that urban migration should reduce ethnic identification and increase trust between groups. “Second generation” modernization perspectives argue the opposite: urban migration may amplify ethnic identification and... |
Bauer, Michal; Chytilova, Julie; Miguel, Edward, 2020, "Using survey questions to measure preferences: Lessons from an experimental validation in Kenya", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/M1ITQ1, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:OeWfpn+fKKNpfK7p5ufKyA== [fileUNF]
Can a short survey instrument reliably measure a range of fundamental economic preferences across diverse settings? We focus on survey questions that systematically predict behavior in incentivized experimental tasks among German university students (Becker et al. 2016) and were implemented among representative samples across the globe (Falk et al.... |
Hamory, Joan; Kleemans, Marieke; Li, Nicholas Y.; Miguel, Edward, 2020, "Replication Data for: “Reevaluating Agricultural Productivity Gaps with Longitudinal Microdata”", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/BSKDSD, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:5LHtmyy/+MsM0HXeWd8LAA== [fileUNF]
Recent research has pointed to large gaps in labor productivity between the agricultural and non-agricultural sectors in low-income countries, as well as between workers in rural and urban areas. Most estimates are based on national accounts or repeated cross-sections of micro-survey data, and as a result typically struggle to account for individua... |
