Caste Differences in Child Growth: Disentangling Endowment and Investment Effects by Cummins, Joseph; Guo, Jingyan; Agarwal, Neha; Aiyar, Anaka; Jain, Vaishali; Bergmann, Andrew
|
|
World Development, July 2024
|
|
Using the fourth round of the Indian National Family Health Survey (NFHS-4), and subsequently replicating our results using the fifth round (NFHS-5), we document differential child physical growth patterns across caste groups in India, demonstrating that lower caste children are born shorter and grow less quickly than children from higher-caste households. We then show that, in line with work from previous rounds of the NFHS, these differences...

Remedial, Institutional or Radical? Explaining Community Responses to Violence against Women in an NGO Programme to Prevent Violence in Mumbai, India by Gram, Lu; Paradkar, Sukanya; Singh, Chatush; Suryavanshi, Anand; Cislaghi, Beniamino; Osrin, David
|
|
World Development, July 2024
|
|
Despite ambitions in development and global health policy to transform communities into supportive environments for women facing risks of violence, our understanding of how to best engage communities remains incomplete. In particular, there is little evidence on the types of strategies that communities employ to address violence against women (VAW). We aimed to describe and analyse the processes involved in community responses to incidents...

Does Representation Affect Trust in Political Institutions? Evidence from Redistricting in India by Kukreja, Rolly
|
|
World Development, July 2024
|
|
Trust in political institutions is considered to be distinctly crucial for maintaining the stability and legitimacy of such institutions. In this paper, I document an important channel through which characteristics of political institutions could affect political trust by studying the impact of a change in representation on political trust. I use the delimitation exercise of 2008 as a source of change in representation of districts within state legislatures in India...

|
How serious is indoor air pollution (IAP) as a threat to infants and children? This paper estimates the impact of cooking fuel choice--a predominant source of IAP--on under-five mortality in India, where reliance on biomass fuels such as firewood, animal dung, and agricultural waste is pervasive. Leveraging forest cover and agricultural land ownership for identification and nationally representative data, we find that solid fuel use for cooking significantly...

Standards and Non-tariff Barriers in Trade--A Case Study of South Asia by Ur-Rashid, Hamid Haroon; Khan, Muhammad Aamir
|
|
Structural Change and Economic Dynamics, June 2024
|
|
SAFTA (South Asian Free Trade Area) is not a success story. Geographically connected, but highly dis-integrated, with more than 90% outward-oriented trade, this is the case of South Asia. Of course, military, and political tensions are the major obstacles. However, recent data and studies show that cumbersome procedures, ruthless application of NTMs (Non-Tariff Measures) and restrictions are the biggest challenges for trade...
