We applied an instrumental variable (IV) approach to measure the neighborhood effect, run multiple robustness checks and several heterogeneity analyses. The empirical results find that as neighbors' commercial health insurance purchases increase one unit, the focal family’s possibility of purchase would increase by 0.420 units. These results may have some implications for policy-makers to develop the health insurance industry in rural areas more effectively.","PeriodicalId":46384,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Development Effectiveness","volume":"120 1","pages":"329 - 341"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79422851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Across many settings, the view that inexpensive psychological interventions can lead to meaningful change in economic well-being has become popular. Examining data from participants of a multifaceted program in the Philippines we find that program participants experience (i) positive changes in income and expenditures, (ii) relatively large changes in measures of psychological well-being, but that (iii) these changes in psychological well-being do not mediate changes in economic well-being. This suggests, at least in the short-term, that changes in psychological attributes may have small effects on measures of economic well-being.","PeriodicalId":46384,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Development Effectiveness","volume":"60 1","pages":"292 - 308"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76663081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we argue that Agencies would benefit by adding a fourth principle, namely ‘externally-valid extrapolation’, since Agencies should be concerned about obtaining rigorous impacts estimates that can be conducive to aggregate impact predictions. Extrapolation essentially means determining a metric of aggregate development effectiveness. Ensuring externally valid extrapolation requires that this metric is estimated based on a sufficiently large set of internally valid studies accompanied by an impact assessment research programme conceived within a framework that maximises external validity at portfolio level. We show how as part of the first impact assessment initiative at IFAD, which dates back to 2012, a methodology was devised to measure and project aggregate development effectiveness at portfolio level.","PeriodicalId":46384,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Development Effectiveness","volume":"10 1","pages":"117 - 144"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81628702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The card, which is mainly targeted at low-income and unbanked individuals, can be used to fund home improvements and purchase home and personal goods in selected stores. We find that access to the credit card fostered financial inclusion and improved households’ standard of living and well-being. Beneficiaries were more likely to obtain financing through credit cards and increased their total debt and expenses in credit repayments while reducing the likelihood of borrowing from informal credit sources. However, we find no effect on accessing credit from the traditional financial sector. Acquiring the card also increased the likelihood of making key home improvements and purchasing certain expensive time-saving durables. Finally, the household’s saving capacity increased, which signals an improvement in economic well-being and shows that the debt repayment is manageable.","PeriodicalId":46384,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Development Effectiveness","volume":"5 1","pages":"47 - 83"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82472820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
