现金转移对农业家庭动态效应
The Dynamic Effects of Cash Transfers to Agricultural Households
摘要
Little is known about the evolution and persistence of the effects of one-time cash transfers, especially in rural agricultural settings with limited productive investment opportunities. We use bimonthly phone surveys to estimate dynamic impacts for cash transfer recipients in Liberia and Malawi. We find immediate increases in food security that attenuate over time but do not entirely dissipate even 1.5–2 years later, driven by increased farm investments and production. We find increases in farm profits, reductions in casual off-farm labor, improvements in psychological well-being, and, in Liberia, a reduction in intimate partner violence (IPV).

中文摘要
关于一次性现金转移效应的演变与持续性，尤其是在农村农业环境中有限的生产性投资机会下，我们知之甚少。我们利用双月电话调查，估算利比里亚和马拉维现金转移接受者的动态影响。研究发现，粮食安全立即改善，但随时间推移逐渐减弱，即使在1.5至2年后也未完全消失，这主要源于农业投资和生产的增加。我们还观察到农业利润上升、非农临时劳动减少、心理健康改善，以及在利比里亚，亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）减少。（JEL I31, I32, J43, O12, O13, Q12）
