SUMMARY:Berk Ozler\, World Bank
DESCRIPTION:Title: Increasing the uptake of Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARCs) among adolescent females and young women in Cameroon \nAbstract: In sub-Saharan Africa\, 25% of teenagers have started childbearing (ICF\, 2015). While young women describe many of these births as planned and intentional\, women under the age of 20 also have the greatest percentage of mistimed/unintended pregnancies compared to all other age groups. For example\, in Cameroon\, more than 30% of the births to this group were unwanted or wanted later (DHS 2011). Low age at first birth has a significant impact on the spacing of births and timing of future pregnancies. It may also reduce accumulation of human capital for both the mother and the child. \nDespite the desire to delay childbearing\, only a minority of sexually active unmarried women in most low-income countries uses any modern method of contraception (ICF\, 2015). The shares of women using reliable short-acting methods of contraception (injectables and pills) are even smaller\, with very few unmarried or nulliparous women using LARCs (IUDs or implants). For example\, 41% of sexually active unmarried women in Cameroon report using male condoms\, with 6% using SARCs and less than 1% using LARCs (DHS 2011). Given meaningful differences in the typical-use effectiveness of these different methods\, it is important to understand why most women don’t use any modern methods of contraceptives\, and why\, among users\, women favor the short-acting (but\, less reliable) methods over the long-acting (but almost 100% effective) ones. \nIn this talk\, Berk Özler will describe their multi-disciplinary team’s ongoing work in Cameroon that is attempting to identify the barriers to the uptake of LARCs and testing interventions to overcome them. They will briefly summarize the formative qualitative work to identify the supply- and demand-side barriers; describe a tablet-based decision-support tool they developed for nurses to counsel young women on modern contraceptive methods\, and describe the design of two randomized-controlled trials that test some of the interventions designed with the government of Cameroon. \nPlease RSVP for lunch \nCo-sponsored with the UCLA Luskin Senior Fellows Speaker Series \nMore on Prof. Ozler \n

SUMMARY:V. Joseph Hotz\, Duke University
DESCRIPTION:“The Role of Parental Wealth & Income in Financing Children’s College Attendance & Its Consequences” \nAbstract: This paper examines the influence of parental wealth and income on their children’s college attendance and parents’ financial support for it and whether the latter affects the subsequent levels of indebtedness of parents and their children. We use data from the PSID\, especially data in the 2013 Rosters and Transfers Module on the incidence and amounts of parents’ financial support for their children’s college. To instrument for the potential endogeneity of parental housing wealth and income on these decisions\, we use changes in parents’ local housing and labor market conditions. We find that increases in both parents’ housing wealth and income increase the likelihood of their children attending college through the effect of parents’ financial support. This parental financing of college leads to parents carrying more debt\, but their children having no greater student loan debt after graduation. We also find that parental financing of their child’s college education significantly increases the probability that the child actually graduates from college. \nAccess Podcast Here \nMore on Prof. Hotz

SUMMARY:Sarah Baird\, George Washington University
DESCRIPTION:“When the Money Runs Out: Do Cash Transfers Have Sustained Effects on Human Capital Accumulation?” \nAbstract: The five-year evaluation of a cash transfer program targeted to young women points to both the promise and limitations of cash transfers for persistent welfare gains. Conditional cash transfers produced sustained improvements in education and fertility for initially out-of-school females\, but caused no gains in other outcomes. Significant declines in HIV prevalence\, pregnancy and early marriage observed during the program among recipients of unconditional cash transfers (UCTs) evaporated quickly after the cessation of support. However\, children born to UCT beneficiaries during the program had significantly higher height-for-age z-scores at follow-up pointing to the potential importance of cash during critical periods. \nAccess Podcast Here \nMore on Prof. Baird

SUMMARY:Susan Cassels\, UC Santa Barbara
DESCRIPTION:“Self-selection or enabling environments: What predicts the association between short-term mobility and sexual behavior?” \nAbstract: Short-term mobility is often associated with increased risk behavior. For example\, mobile individuals often have higher rates of sexual risk behavior compared to non-mobile individuals\, but the reasons why are not clear. Using monthly retrospective panel data from Ghana\, we test whether short-term mobility is associated with differences in total and unprotected sex acts\, and whether the association is due to enabling\, selection\, or influential reasons. In other words\, do mobile individuals express higher levels of risk due to an environment that enables that risk? Alternatively\, mobile individuals may be selected on some trait that predicts less aversion to risk. Men who were mobile in a given month had more sex acts compared to non-mobile men. Regardless of short-term mobility in a given month\, both men and women who were mobile in future months had more sex acts compared to individuals not mobile in future months. Our findings support the hypothesis that both men and women who are mobile are positively selected on sexual risk behavior. The enabling hypothesis\, that the act of being mobile enables sexual risk behavior\, was only supported for men. \nAccess Podcast Here \nMore on Prof. Cassels

SUMMARY:Bruce Western\, Harvard University and Columbia University
DESCRIPTION:“Homeward: Life in the Year After Prison” \nAbstract: This talk will address my new book\, Homeward: Life in the Year After Prison. The book  tells the stories of the men and women I met through the Boston Reentry Study\, a series of interviews my research team and I conducted with people leaving prison for neighborhoods around Boston. We were trying to understand what happens when people return to a community\, and the challenges faced by them and their families. How did they look for work and housing? How did they manage their addictions or mental illness\, and why did some return to incarceration? In trying to answer these questions\, I hoped to bear witness to the lives held captive in America’s experiment with mass incarceration. The research showed that imprisonment is followed by deep poverty\, in which unemployment is widespread and survival is assisted only by government programs and family support. While earlier studies have focused on the stigma of a criminal record\, the men and women of Boston also struggled greatly with human frailty — mental illness\, addiction\, and physical disability — that threatened success after incarceration and impaired the effectiveness of programs. They had experienced serious violence\, often as perpetrators\, but just as frequently as victims and witnesses\, and often since early childhood. Under these conditions\, freedom after prison was not a status granted by release\, but something attained gradually. Becoming free was a process of social integration where one had to find one’s place with kin and community. \nMore on Prof. Western \n*Co-sponsored with the California Policy Lab

SUMMARY:Emmanuel Saez\, UC Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:“Inequality around the World: Evidence and Implications” \nAbstract: The lecture will present new evidence on global inequality and growth since 1980 using the World and Wealth Income Database. We combine data across countries in a homogeneous way to analyze world inequality. Global inequality has increased since 1980 in spite of fast growth in large emerging countries. We plot the curve of cumulated growth from 1980 to 2016 for each percentile of the global distribution of income per adult. This curve has an elephant shape as growth rates have been particularly high around the median (due to growth in China and India)\, growth rates have been low for the middle classes of advanced economies\, and growth rates have been explosive for the global top income earners. We estimate the future evolution of global inequality between now and 2050 combining projected macro growth rates and within country inequality evolution based on past trends. \nPodcast Here \nMore on Prof. Saez \n*Co-sponsored with the Department of Economics and Anderson School of Management and Public Policy and Applied Social Science Seminar (PPASS)

SUMMARY:CEGA-EASST Scholars Visit from East Africa
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, March 16\,  UCLA is hosting three CEGA-EASST scholars from East Africa. EASST invites East African researchers to apply for a 4-month fellowship at UC Berkeley to build skills in rigorous social science research and impact evaluation-these are the fellows who won this fellowship.  Each scholar will present on the following topics from 12:00-1:30PM in Public Affairs building room 4240. Lunch will be served.  They will be visiting all day so let us know if you would like to meet with any of them individually. Hope you can join us. Register Here\n  \n\nSamuel Muhula: Monitoring\, Evaluation and Research Manager at Amref Health Africa\, from Kenya \n“Social Dynamics and HIV Treatment Retention: Can Non-monetary Incentives and Facility-Based Psychosocial Support Improve Patients’ Retention in the Early Stages of HIV Care?”\nSuboptimal human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) treatment retention has profound impacts on morbidity and mortality among HIV positive participants. Monetary incentives and psychosocial support have been shown to be effective in various aspects of HIV control and may improve retention of participants in the early stages of HIV continuum of care. This two-armed randomized control trial evaluates the effectiveness of social dynamics involving non-monetary incentives and facility-based psychosocial support for HIV treatment on retention in the first six months of antiretroviral therapy (ART). The control group will receive standard care while the intervention group will receive standard care and the treatment which includes non-monetary incentives and participants enrolled into psychosocial support groups. The study will be implemented in Kibera informal settlement in Nairobi\, Kenya.\n  \n\nDanish Us Salam: Senior Research Associate at BRAC Uganda\, from Pakistan \n“Play & Learn – Using Intramural Sports to tackle Health and Educational Outcomes in Sierra Leone”\nPolitical and economic pressures on education systems to improve standardized test scores have had the unintended consequence of reducing or eliminating physical education curricula and thus students’ opportunities for physical activity. Extensive scientific evidence demonstrates that regular physical activity promotes growth and development in youth and has multiple benefits for physical\, mental and cognitive health whereas the lack of it can be detrimental to optimizing child health and development. I propose an experiment to test whether introducing a sport’s curriculum in under-resourced schools can drive health and educational outcomes among primary and secondary school students. More specifically\, I’m interested in the impact of supervised sports participation and school-sport performance-linked cash benefits in curbing teacher absenteeism\, teacher effort and improving student health and educational status across gender\, class level and socio-economic status.\n  \n\nPatrick Okello: Research Fellow at BRAC Uganda\, from Uganda \n“The Unemployment Problem and the Informal Economy: Can Evaluative Conditioning increase Labor Market Engagement?”\nYouth unemployment presents a major challenge in Uganda and is estimated to be as high as 64%. Only 30% of the labor force is engaged in the formal sector as it cannot absorb the large numbers entering the labor market annually. The informal sector\, however\, contributes considerably to the national GDP. There is anecdotical evidence that the reluctance to engage in the informal sector is attitudinal rather than structural\, partly as a result of asymmetrical information flows between the informal sector and job seekers. Therefore\, job seekers delay employment in expectation of a higher reservation wage attainable from a job in the formal sector. By exposing different groups to stimuli to reshape their negative opinions about self-employment\, we query whether this could be a cost-effective way to promote labor force participation rates.

SUMMARY:David Card\, UC Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:“The Health Effects of Cesarean Delivery for Low-Risk First Births” \nAbstract: Cesarean delivery for low-risk pregnancies is generally associated with worse health outcomes for infants and mothers. The interpretation of this correlation\, however\, is confounded by potential selectivity in the choice of birth mode. We use birth records from California\, merged with hospital and emergency department (ED) visits for infants and mothers in the year after birth\, to study the casual health effects of cesarean delivery for low-risk first births. Building on McClellan\, McNeil\, and Newhouse (1994)\, we use the relative distance from a mother’s home to hospitals with high and low c-section rates as an instrument for c-section.  We show that relative distance is a strong predictor of c-section but is orthogonal to many observed risk factors\, including birth weight and indicators of prenatal care.  Our IV estimates imply that cesarean delivery causes a relatively large increase in ED visits of the infant\, mainly due to acute respiratory conditions. We find no significant effects on mothers’ hospitalizations or ED use after birth\, or on subsequent fertility\, but we find a ripple effect on second birth outcomes arising from the high likelihood of repeat c-section. Offsetting these morbidity effects\, we find that delivery at a high c-section hospital leads to a significant reduction in infant mortality\, driven by lower death rates for newborns with high rates of pre-determined risk factors. \nAccess Podcast Here \nMore on Prof. Card

SUMMARY:Fernando Riosmena\, University of Colorado
DESCRIPTION:“A re-appraisal of thinking on and the empirical evaluation of migration theories” \nAbstract: Over the last quarter Century\, there has been considerable efforts to systematize knowledge on and empirically test the drivers of population mobility around a set of eight theories that either explain the initiation or continuation of international labor migration flows. In this presentation\, I provide a reflection aimed at furthering theoretical development and empirical testing of these theories. I do so by: (1) providing more specific guidance on how the different theories’ overlapping scales of influence interrelate more specifically than examined in prior work; (2) arguing for a more complete formulation of some of these theories to better explain contemporary immigration flows; and (3) discussing whether/how these theories can help bridge the understanding of the “drivers” of internal vs. international migration\, and of labor vs. other kinds of mobility\, including some forms of forced displacement. Throughout\, I also discuss how the quantitative testing of these theories has fallen into pitfalls of both thinking measurement\, which have likely led to a misattribution of the relative importance of some theories\, suggesting some refinements on the empirical validation of and the more general use of these theories in guiding empirical analysis going forward. \nAccess Podcast Here \nCo-sponsored with the Center for the Study of International Migration and the Center for Mexican Studies \nMore on Prof. Riosmena

SUMMARY:Yu Xie\, Princeton
DESCRIPTION:“Heterogeneous Causal Effects: A Propensity Score Approach “ \nAbstract: Heterogeneity is ubiquitous in social science.  Individuals differ not only in background characteristics\, but also in how they respond to a particular treatment. In this presentation\, Yu Xie argues that a useful approach to studying heterogeneous causal effects is through the use of the propensity score. He demonstrates the use of the propensity score approach in three scenarios: when ignorability is true\, when treatment is randomly assigned\, and when ignorability is not true but there are valid instrumental variables. \n  \nMore on Prof. Xie

SUMMARY:Joscha Legewie\, Yale University
DESCRIPTION:“Policing and the Educational Performance of Minority Youth” \nAbstract: How does the expansion of police presence in poor urban communities affect educational outcomes? Exploiting a quasi-experimental design from New York City\, we present causal evidence of the impact of aggressive\, zero-tolerance policing on the educational performance of minority youth. Under Operation Impact\, the New York Police Department (NYPD) saturated high crime areas with additional police officers with the mission to engage in aggressive order maintenance policing. We used administrative data from about 680\,000 adolescents aged 10 to 14 and exploited quasi-random variation in the relative timing of police surges and the date of standardized exams among children in the same neighborhood. Exposure to police surges significantly reduced test scores for African-American boys. The size of the effect increases with age but there is no discernible effect for African-American girls and Hispanics. Aggressive policing can thus lower the educational performance of African-American youth and perpetuate the racial achievement gap. \nMore on Prof. Legewie

SUMMARY:Ethical Issues in Public Presentations
DESCRIPTION:Oftentimes in public presentations\, from lectures to seminars to conference presentations\, sensitive topics arise. These may involve race\, gender\, sexuality\, nationality\, religion\, or any number of additional topics. We will have an open forum discussion of examples of these types of topics arising\, and how well speakers address them. What are some best practices for discussing sensitive topics? What are some examples of practices you would like to avoid in your own presentations?

SUMMARY:Randall Kuhn\, UC Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:“A Large-Scale Survey of International Migrants from Rural Bangladesh: Longitudinal Evidence on Migration Costs\, Earnings and Health” \nAbstract: Popular attention has focused on the harsh conditions facing overseas guest workers from countries such as Bangladesh to the states of the Persian Gulf\, with the assumption of negative health consequences. In contrast\, the global empirical literature on migrant health finds generally positive health outcomes for migrants relative to those left-behind\, due in large part to self-selection. Yet most such studies match separate datasets from sending and destination country rather than using a binational panel survey. Few focus on guest workers or migrants to non-OECD destinations. The Matlab Health and Socioeconomic Survey (MHSS) is a binational panel survey that follows a representative sample of a rural area of Bangladesh from 1996-7 to 2012-4. Between survey rounds\, one quarter of young adult males moved outside the country (most to the Persian Gulf)\, with one-third migrating internally. All out-migrants were followed\, including festival and phone interviews with overseas migrants. MHSS2 achieved a 92% reinterview rate\, including 87% of overseas migrants. This paper provides preliminary assessment of data quality for phone and festival interviews\, and measures the effects of migrant status (international\, internal)\, return migrant and country of destination on livelihoods\, physical health and mental health. Regression estimates account for the potential confounding effects of current and past socioeconomic characteristics of the migrant\, his parents\, family and community using data back to 1974. Propensity score estimates account for the effects of self-selection into migration\, while bounding exercises address the potential effects of differential inter-survey mortality. \nAccess Podcast Here \nMore on Prof. Kuhn  \n

SUMMARY:Cynthia Feliciano\, UC Irvine
DESCRIPTION:“How Multiracial Identities and Racial Classification Shape Latinos’ Dating Preferences“ \nAbstract:Understanding how life experiences vary by different dimensions of race may help clarify the growing Latino population’s place in the U.S. racial structure. This study examines how self-identifying with more than one racial group and racial classification relate to racial dating choices among Latinos. Analyses of data from online dating profiles reveal divergent patterns in stated racial preferences among Latinos depending upon whether and how they also identify with other racial groups. Latinos who identify as White express racial preferences that are more similar to Whites than to monoracial Latinos\, while the preferences of Black-identified Latinos are more similar to Blacks\, consistent with Whitening and Black exceptionalism theories. However\, regardless of racial self-identity\, Latino online daters vary in their exclusion of Whites depending upon how they are racially classified by others. These findings suggest that Latinos’ racial preferences are influenced by the existing racial structure and that Latinos contribute to maintaining the racial hierarchy through their dating choices. In addition\, the findings suggest multiple assimilation trajectories within this diverse population. \n*Co-Sponsored with the Center for the Study of International Migration \nMore on Prof. Feliciano

SUMMARY:Rob Warren\, University of Minnesota
DESCRIPTION:“When Should Researchers Use Inferential Statistics When Analyzing Data on Full Populations?“ \nAbstract: Many researchers uncritically use inferential statistical procedures (e.g.\, hypothesis tests) when analyzing complete population data—a situation in which inference may seem unnecessary. We begin by reviewing and analyzing the most common rationales for employing inferential procedures when analyzing full population data. Two common rationales—having to do with handling missing data and generalizing results to other times and/or places—either lack merit or amount to analyzing sample (not population) data.  Whether it is appropriate to use inferential procedures depends on whether researchers are analyzing sample or population data and on whether they seek to make causal or descriptive claims. When doing descriptive research\, the distinction between sample and population data is paramount: Inferential statistics should only be used to analyze sample data (to account for sampling variability) and never to analyze population data. When doing causal research\, the distinction between sample data and population data is unimportant: Inferential procedures can and should always be used to distinguish (for example) robust associations from those that may have come about by chance alone. Crucially\, using inferential procedures to analyze population data to make descriptive claims can lead to incorrect substantive conclusions—especially when population sizes and/or effect sizes are small. \n*Co-sponsored with the Center for Social Statistics \nMore on Prof. Warren \nAccess Podcast here

SUMMARY:Diversion in the Criminal Justice System: Regression Discontinuity Evidence on Court Deferrals: Kevin Schnepel\, University of Sydney\, School of Economics
DESCRIPTION:Kevin Schnepel\, University of Sydney\, School of Economics \nThe historically unprecedented size of the U.S. criminal justice system has necessitated the development of diversion programs to reduce caseloads as a cost containment strategy. Court deferrals\, which allow felony defendants to avoid formal convictions through probation\, are one example. Using two discontinuities in deferral rates in Harris County\, Texas\, separated by 13 years\, we find consistent evidence that diversion reduces reoffending and unemployment among first-time felony defendants. Similar benefits are not observed for repeat offenders suggesting felony record stigma as a key mechanism. Young\, African American men drive the total effect\, a pattern consistent with over-targeting by law enforcement.

SUMMARY:Doug Massey\, Princeton University
DESCRIPTION:“Train Wreck: US Immigration and Border Policy 1965-2010” \nAbstract: Despite the massive increase in border enforcement after 1986\, undocumented population growth did not decrease\, but rose. In this talk I undertake a systematic analysis of border enforcement as a policy for immigration control. Empirical results explain not only why it failed\, but how and why it backfired. In the end\, the militarization of the border did not increase the probability of apprehension at the border or reduce the likelihood of unauthorized entry; but it did dramatically change the geography of border crossing\, increase the costs of undocumented migration\, and elevate the physical risks of border crossing. Ironically\, these trends had no effect on the likelihood of undocumented departure for the United States\, but instead reduced the probability undocumented returns back to Mexico\, thereby  increasing the net volume of undocumented migration and accelerating undocumented population growth. \nAccess Podcast Here \n*Co-Sponsored with;  \nThe Center for the Study of International Migration \nThe Social Stratification\, Inequality\, and Mobility Working Group  \nThe Center for Mexican Studies  \nMore on Prof. Massey

SUMMARY:Nathaniel Osgood\, University of Saskatchewan\, "Dynamic modeling for health in the age of big data"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Traditional approaches to public health concerns have conferred great advances in the duration and quality of life. Public health interventions – from improved sanitation efforts\, to vaccination campaigns\, to contact tracing and environmental regulations – have helped reduce common risks to health throughout many areas of the world. Unfortunately\, while traditional methods from the health sciences have proven admirably suited for addressing traditional challenges\, a troubling crop of complex health challenges confront the nation and the world\, and threaten to stop – and even reverse the – rise in length and quality of life that many have taken for granted. Examples include multi-factorial problems such as obesity and obesity-related chronic disease\, the spread of drug-resistant and rapidly mutating pathogens that evade control efforts\, and “syndemics” of mutually reinforcing health conditions (such as Diabetes and TB; substance abuse\, violence and HIV/AIDS; obesity & stress). Such challenges have proven troublingly policy resistant\, with interventions being thwarted by “blowback” from the complex feedbacks involved\, and attendant costs threaten to overwhelm health care systems. In the face of such challenges public health decision makers are increasingly supplementing their toolbox using “system science” techniques. Such methods – also widely known as “complex systems approaches” – provide a way to understand a system’s behavior as a whole and as more than the sum of its parts\, and a means of anticipating and managing the behavior of a system in more judicious and proactive fashion. However\, such approaches offer substantially greater insight and power when combined with rich data sources. Within this talk\, we will highlight the great promise afforded by combining of Systems Science techniques and rich data sources\, particularly emphasizing the role of cross-linking models with “big data” offering high volume\, velocity\, variety and veracity. Examples of such data include fine-grained temporal and spatial information collected by smartphone-based and wearable as well as building and municipal sensors\, data from social media posts and search behavior\, helpline calls\, website accesses and rich cross-linked databases. Decision-oriented models grounded by such novel data sources can allow for articulated theory building regarding difficult-to-observe aspects of human behavior. Such models can also aid in informing evaluation of and judicious selection between sophisticated interventions to lessen the health burden of a wide variety of health conditions. Such models are particularly powerful when complemented by machine learning and computational statistics techniques that permit recurrent model regrounding in the newest evidence\, and which allow a model to knit together holistic portrait of the system as a whole\, and which support grounded investigation of between intervention strategies tradeoffs. \nSponsored by The Department of Community Health Sciences along with the Center for Social Statistics and the California Center for Population Research

SUMMARY:Jennifer Skeem\, UC Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:“’What works’ for justice-involved people with mental illness” \nAbstract:  Each year\, over 2 million people with serious mental illness are booked into U.S. jails.  These people typically stay longer in jail than those without mental illness—and\, upon release\, are more likely to be reincarcerated.  Today\, over 300 counties have resolved to “step up” their efforts to reduce the number of people with mental illness in jail.  In this presentation\, I highlight research on “what works” to reduce re-offending among justice-involved people with mental illness.  Programs must avoid the traditional assumption that mental illness is the direct cause of the problem\, and linkage with psychiatric services is the solution.  Evidence-based\, cost-effective programs look beyond psychiatric explanations to address robust risk factors that are shared by people with- and without mental illness. \nMore on Prof. Skeem

SUMMARY:Victoria Baranov\, University of Melbourne
DESCRIPTION:“Mental health and women’s choices. Experimental evidence from a Randomized Control Trial. “ \nAbstract: We evaluate the long-term impact of treating maternal depression on women’s financial empowerment and parenting decisions by exploiting experimental variation induced by a cluster-randomized control trial which provided psychotherapy to perinatally depressed mothers in rural Pakistan. The trial\, which is the largest psychotherapy trial in the world\, was highly successful at reducing depression rates of mothers. We relocate mothers 6 years after the intervention concluded to evaluate the effects of the intervention on women’s financial empowerment\, parental investments\, fertility\, as well as children development. We find that treating maternal depression increased women’s empowerment\, particularly control over spending\, both in the short-run and in the long-run. Consistent with the reports of increased control over spending\, we find persistent effects of the intervention on both time- and monetary-intensive parental investment. We do not find any detectable effect on children development. The long-run treatment effects are concentrated among girls. \nMore on Prof. Baranov\nPodcast Here

DESCRIPTION:“Does Universalization of Health Work? Evidence from Health Systems Restructuring and Maternal and Child Health in Brazil“ \nAbstract: We investigate restructuring of the health system in Brazil motivated to operationalize universal health coverage. Using administrative data from multiple sources and an event study approach that exploits the staggered rollout of programmatic changes across municipalities\, we find large reductions in maternal\, foetal\, neonatal and postneonatal mortality\, and fertility. We document increased prenatal care visits\, hospital births and other maternal and child hospitalization\, which suggest that the survival gains were supply-driven.
