The pathways from a behavior change communication intervention to infant and young child feeding in Bangladesh are mediated and potentiated by maternal self-efficacy por Zongrone, Amanda, Menon, Purnima, Pelto, Gretel H., Habicht, Jean-Pierre, Rasmussen, Kathleen M., Constas, Mark A., Vermeylen, Francoise, Adiba, Khaled, Saha, Kuntal K., Stoltzfus, Rebecca J.

“…In the context of a behaviour change intervention (BCI) in Bangladesh, we studied the role of maternal self-efficacy for complementary feeding (MSE-CF) for 2 complementary feeding (CF) behaviors with the use of a theoretically grounded empirical model of determinants to illustrate the potential roles of MSE-CF. MSE-CF was a significant mediator and potentiator for GLV but not for EGG. …”

Correlated non-classical measurement errors, ‘second best’ policy inference and the inverse size-productivity relationship in agriculture por Abay, Kibrom A., Abate, Gashaw T., Barrett, Christopher B., Bernard, Tanguy

“…Furthermore, if these measurement errors are correlated, correcting for either one alone can aggravate bias in the parameter estimate of interest relative to ignoring mismeasurement in both variables, a ‘second best’ result with implications for a broad class of economic phenomena of policy interest. We illustrate these results empirically by demonstrating the implications of mismeasured agricultural output and plot size for the long-debated (inverse) relationship between size and productivity.…”

Evaluating transfer programs within a general equilibrium framework por Coady, David, Harris, Rebecca Lee

“…The authors set out a general equilibrium model for the evaluation of a domestically financed transfer program, which helps to combine the results from a computable general equilibrium model with disaggregated household data.Using a Mexican cash transfer program as an illustration, they use the approach to show that the substantial welfare gains that result from the switch from universal food subsidies to targeted cash transfers reflect both the improved targeting efficiency of the latter as well as a relaxation of the trade-off between equity and efficiency objectives when designing tax systems.…”
