Dupas, Pascaline; Hoffman, Vivian; Kremer, Michael; Zwane, Alix Peterson, 2016, "Targeting health subsidies through a non-price mechanism: A randomized controlled trial in Kenya", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/PBLJXJ, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:o9p/z3897g9+EMCz/1RHCg== [fileUNF]
Free provision of preventive health products can dramatically increase access in low income countries. A cost concern about free provision is that some recipients may not use the product, wasting resources. Yet charging a price to screen out non-users may screen out poor people who need and would use the product. We report on a randomized controlle... |
Field, Erica; Glennerster, Rachel; Nazneen, Shahana, 2016, "Impact of Financial Incentives on Child Marriage and Schooling in Bangladesh - Baseline Census", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/48GFKU, Harvard Dataverse, V2
This dataset provides baseline information on 281,337 households in 6 sub-districts (upazilas) in rural Southern Bangladesh. Information were collected on household composition, marriage, education and employment as part of a census in 610 villages between January and February 2007. Information was collected by surveying one household member per ho... |
Dizon-Ross, Rebecca; Dupas, Pascaline; Robinson, Jonathan, 2016, "Governance and Effectiveness of Public Health Subsidies", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/P04NKK, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:FqKFNFxZYDV4feiL59dmjw== [fileUNF]
Heavily subsidizing essential health products through existing health infrastructure could substantially improve health in sub-Saharan Africa. There is, however, widespread concern that poor governance – in particular, limited health worker accountability – seriously undermines the effectiveness of subsidy programs. Using innovative audits of target... |

Karlan, Dean; Zinman, Jonathan, 2016, "Microcredit in Theory and Practice: Using Randomized Credit Scoring for Impact Evaluation", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/VOTBOK, Harvard Dataverse, V3, UNF:6:Ax3TYbXdIjXoqHVg75FqJQ== [fileUNF]
Microcredit institutions spend billions of dollars fighting poverty by making small loans primarily to female entrepreneurs. Proponents argue that microcredit mitigates market failures, spurs micro-enterprise growth, and boosts borrowers’ well-being. We tested these hypotheses with the use of an innovative, replicable experimental design that rando... |
Crépon, Bruno; Devoto, Florencia; Duflo, Esther; Parienté, William, 2016, "Estimating the impact of microcredit on those who take it up: Evidence from a randomized experiment in Morocco", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/DDIDEY, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:W2cyKiiMrafV+WmgdxLFMA== [fileUNF]
We report results from a randomized evaluation of a microcredit program introduced in rural areas of Morocco in 2006. Thirteen percent of the households in treatment villages took a loan, and none in control villages. Among households identified as more likely to borrow, microcredit access led to a significant rise in investment in assets used for... |
Duflo, Esther; Dupas, Pascaline; Kremer, Michael, 2016, "School governance, teacher incentives, and pupil–teacher ratios: Experimental evidence from Kenyan primary schools", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/9534YA, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Some education policymakers focus on bringing down pupil–teacher ratios. Others argue that resources will have limited impact without systematic reforms to education governance, teacher incentives, and pedagogy. We examine a program under which school committees at randomly selected Kenyan schools were funded to hire an additional teacher on an ann... |

Data collected from a sample of SKS Microfinance clients related to a bundled microfinance loan and health insurance product between 2006-2010 in Northern Karnataka, India. We include a copy of relevant surveys, and baseline, endline, and administrative loans data. |
Duflo, Esther; Dupas, Pascaline; Kremer, Michael, 2015, "Education, HIV, and Early Fertility: Experimental Evidence from Kenya", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/TZG4WJ, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:riwuWIoLjZ89YPYYsWBOGQ== [fileUNF]
A seven-year randomized evaluation suggests education subsidies reduce adolescent girls’ dropout, pregnancy, and marriage but not sexually transmitted infection (STI). The government’s HIV curriculum, which stresses abstinence until marriage, does not reduce pregnancy or STI. Both programs combined reduce STI more, but cut dropout and pregnancy les... |
Khan, Adnan Q; Khwaja, Asim I; Olken, Benjamin, 2015, "Replication Data for: Tax Farming Redux: Experimental Evidence on Performance Pay for Tax Collectors", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/MDHHQP, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Performance pay for tax collectors has the potential to raise revenues, but might come at a cost if it increases the bargaining power of tax collectors vis-à-vis taxpayers. We report the first large-scale field experiment on these issues, where we experimentally allocated 482 property tax units in Punjab, Pakistan, into one of three performance pay... |
