Impact of climate related shocks on child's health in Burkina Faso

Bonjean, Catherine Araujo; Brunelin, Stéphanie; … - HAL - 2012

where rain fed agriculture is the dominant production system. We combine health data originating from the 2008 household … consequences. Then we look for a different impact of shocks on girls and boys that would reflect a gender bias in intra household … resource allocation. We also assess the household ability to smooth consumption by testing for an asymmetric effect of rainfall …

Mortality, family and lifestyles

Ponthière, Grégory - HAL - 2010

While there is a large empirical literature on the intergenerational transmission of health and survival outcomes in relation to lifestyles, little theoretical work exists on the long-run prevalence of (un)healthy lifestyles induced by mortality patterns. To examine that issue, this paper...

Accounting for Peer Effects in Treatment Response

Dieye, Rokhaya; Djebbari, Habiba; Barrera-Osorio, Felipe - HAL - 2014

When one's treatment status affects the outcomes of others, experimental data are not sufficient to identify a treatment causal impact. In order to account for peer effects in program response, we use a social network model. We estimate and validate the model on experimental data collected for...

A model of influence in a social network

Grabisch, Michel; Rusinowska, Agnieszka - HAL - 2010

In the paper, we study a model of influence in a social network. It is assumed that each player has an inclination to say YES or NO which, due to influence of other players, may be different from the decision of the player. The point of departure here is the concept of the Hoede-Bakker index -...
