Abstract

Households in poor countries are encouraged (and sometimes coerced) to increase investments in formal health care services during pregnancy and childbirth. Is this good policy? The answer to a large extent depends on its effects on child welfare. We study the effects of a cash transfer program in Nigeria in which households were offered a payment of $14 conditioned on uptake of health services. We show that the transfer led to a large increase in uptake and a substantial increase in child survival driven by a decrease in in-utero child deaths. We present evidence suggesting that the key driver is prenatal health investments.

摘要

贫困国家鼓励(有时是强制)家庭在孕期和分娩期间增加对正规医疗服务的投资。这是一项好政策吗?答案在很大程度上取决于其对儿童福利的影响。我们研究了尼日利亚一项现金转移计划的效果,在该计划中,家庭只要使用医疗服务就能获得14美元的补贴。我们发现,这种转移支付导致医疗服务使用率大幅提高,并且由于子宫内胎儿死亡人数减少,儿童存活率也大幅提高。我们提供的证据表明,关键驱动因素是产前健康投资。
