Subject: Designing and Evaluating Conditional Cash Transfer Programs: 19
Jan RSS
Designing and Evaluating Conditional Cash Transfer Programs: Some
Methodological Aspects. 19 January 2010, 5.00pm, at the Royal
Statistical Society.
Speakers:
Dr Marcos Vera-Hernandez, Institute of Fiscal Studies and UCL Department
of Economics, University College London. Timothy Powell-Jackson, London
School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Discussant: Professor Armando
Barriento Professor and Research Director, Brooks World Poverty
Institute, University of Manchester.
Conditional Cash Transfer programs aim to reduce poverty by making
welfare programs conditional upon the receivers' actions. These programs
offer poor families regular sums of cash via a social contract with the
beneficiaries - for example, sending children to school regularly or
bringing them to health centres. The seminar will focus on some
methodological aspects of conditional cash transfer programs. Dr Marcos
Vera-Hernandez will focus on two methodological issues: (1) whether the
unit of treatment should be the household or the village; and (2) the
challenges faced in quantifying the contribution of the conditionality
to the final outcome. Timothy Powell-Jackson will review the methods
used to evaluate conditional cash transfer programs, with a view to
examining to what extent these different methods help us in
understanding how such programs work. Professor Armando Barriento will
be the discussant.
Attendance is free but pre-registration is recommended. You can register
by email: [log in to unmask] or by phone (020) 7638 8998. For a map and
directions see www.rss.org.uk/findus. We anticipate the seminar will
finish at around 7 pm.
