Banerjee, Abhijit; Duflo, Esther; Hornbeck, Richard, 2014, "Bundling Health Insurance and Microfinance", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/25890, Harvard Dataverse, V2
Microfinance institutions have started to bundle their basic loans with other financial services, such as health insurance. Using a randomized control trial in Karnataka, India, we evaluate the impact on loan renewal from mandating the purchase of actuarially-fair health insurance covering hospitalization and maternity expenses. Bundling loans with... |

Banerjee, Abhijit; Chandrasekhar, Arun G.; Duflo, Esther; Jackson, Matthew O., 2013, "The Diffusion of Microfinance", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/U3BIHX, Harvard Dataverse, V9
We examine how participation in a microfinance program diffuses through social networks. We collected detailed demographic and social network data in 43 villages in South India before microfinance was introduced in those villages and then tracked eventual participation. We exploit exogenous variation in the importance (in a network sense) of the pe... |

Duflo, Esther; Dupas, Pascaline; Kremer, Michael, 2013, "Data on Kenyan Youths", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/TDFJ7X, Harvard Dataverse, V4
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... |

Alatas, Vivi; Banerjee, Abhijit; Hanna, Rema; Olken, Benjamin; Tobias, Julia, 2013, "Targeting the Poor: Evidence from a Field Experiment in Indonesia", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/M7SKQZ, Harvard Dataverse, V5
This paper reports an experiment in 640 Indonesian villages on three approaches to target the poor: proxy means tests (PMT), where assets are used to predict consumption; community targeting, where villagers rank everyone from richest to poorest; and a hybrid. Defining poverty based on PPP$2 per capita consumption, community targeting and the hybri... |
Casey, Katherine; Glennerster, Rachel; Miguel, Edward, 2013, "Reshaping Institutions: Evidence on Aid Impacts Using a Preanalysis Plan", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/NBLI7C, Harvard Dataverse, V4
Despite their importance, there is limited evidence on how institutions can be strengthened. Evaluating the effects of specific reforms is complicated by the lack of exogenous variation in institutions, the difficulty of measuring institutional performance, and the temptation to “cherry pick” estimates from among the large number of indicators requ... |

This database contains data used in "Improving immunisation coverage in rural India: clustered randomised controlled evaluation of immunisation campaigns with and without incentives." This data includes immunization history and household information for 5565 children, as well as supplemental information obtained from records kept at immunization ca... |
Duflo, Esther; Kremer, Michael; Robinson, Jonathan, 2012, "Fertilizer Use in Kenya", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/YM9F07, Harvard Dataverse, V3
We model farmers as facing small fixed costs of purchasing fertilizer and assume some are stochastically present biased and not fully sophisticated about this bias. Such farmers may procrastinate, postponing fertilizer purchases until later periods, when they may be too impatient to purchase fertilizer. Consistent with the model, many farmers in We... |
Banerjee, Abhijit; Chattopadhyay, Raghabendra; Duflo, Esther; Keniston, Daniel; Singh, Nina, 2011, "Rajasthan Police Performance", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/OC35YC, Harvard Dataverse, V9
The Rajasthan Police initiated an intervention in 2006 with researchers which aimed to enhance police performance, improve public opinion, and gather objective information about crime rates and performance. In response to survey data that identified issues of concern, the police (with input from the researchers) designed four interventions, randoml... |

This data was collected from a randomized experiment run by Seva Mandir and J-PAL in the tribal villages of Udaipur, India. An incentives program was implemented to reduce high teacher absence in non-formal primary education centers (NFEC's). In 60 randomly chosen centers (out of 120) teachers were given a camera with a tamper-proof date and time f... |
