    Parallel Title: Skoufias, Emmanuel Electoral accountability, fiscal decentralization and service delivery in Indonesia
    Abstract: This paper takes advantage of the exogenous phasing of direct elections in districts and applies the double difference estimator to: (i) measure impacts on the pattern of public spending and revenue generation at the district level; and (ii) investigate the heterogeneity of the impacts on public spending. The authors confirm that the electoral reforms had positive effects on district expenditures and these effects were mainly due to the increases in expenditures in the districts outside Java and Bali and the changes in expenditures brought about by non-incumbents elected in the districts. Electoral reforms also led to higher revenue generation from own sources and to higher budget surplus. Finally, the analysis finds that in anticipation of the forthcoming direct elections, district governments tend to have higher current expenditures on public works

    Parallel Title: Erscheint auch als Skoufias, Emmanuel Natural Disaster Damage Indices Based on Remotely Sensed Data: An Application to Indonesia
    Abstract: Combining nightlight data as a proxy for economic activity with remote sensing data typically used for natural hazard modeling, this paper constructs novel damage indices at the district level for Indonesia, for different disaster events such as floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and the 2004 Christmas Tsunami. Ex ante, prior to the incidence of a disaster, district-level damage indices could be used to determine the size of the annual fiscal transfers from the central government to the subnational governments. Ex post, or after the incidence of a natural disaster, damage indices are useful for quickly assessing and estimating the damages caused and are especially useful for central and local governments, emergency services, and aid workers so that they can respond efficiently and deploy resources where they are most needed

    Parallel Title: Erscheint auch als Skoufias, Emmanuel Synergies in Child Nutrition: Interactions of Food Security, Health and Environment, and Child Care
    Abstract: This paper examines the extent to which the three key underlying determinants of nutrition-food security; adequate caregiving resources at the maternal, household, and community levels; and access to health services and a safe and hygienic environment-on their own and interactively are correlated with nutrition outcomes, such as height-for-age z-scores. Based on data from different years in eight countries in four regions where malnutrition is high, an indicator is constructed for each component of the three underlying drivers of nutrition. In spite of the limitations inherent in the available data, the analysis (i) reveals that progress toward improved access to adequate food security and adequate environment and health has been quite limited; and (ii) provides evidence of significant synergies among adequate food, child care, and environment and health

    Does Access to Information Empower the Poor? : Evidence from the Dominican Republic (2014)

    Parallel Title: Skoufias, Emmanuel Does Access to Information Empower the Poor?
    Abstract: This paper summarizes the results of the impact evaluation of the Access to Information pilot project on empowerment of citizens in poor municipalities in the Dominican Republic. Among the dimensions of empowerment investigated are civic knowledge, awareness and use of the right to information, perceptions of and trust in public services and institutions, civic participation, and measures of local governance. Data were collected in two rounds: a baseline round at the end of 2010 and a follow-up round in mid-2012. No impact is found on awareness and the use of information under the specific Access to Information rules. However, it is observed that individuals address more general complaints to governments as a result of the Access to Information program regardless of whether these are classified under the ATI law or not. Some positive and statistically significant impacts are found on local government responsiveness, prioritization and decisions about the municipal budget, and trust in and satisfaction with some local government services

    Realizing Demographic Dividends in the Republic of Congo (2020)

    Series Statement: Other Health Study
    Abstract: Between 2005 and 2015 the population living in poverty decreased substantially due to increased government revenues from high oil prices and the expansionary spending that accompanied these revenues. However, despite the recent substantial reduction in poverty, results commensurate with its level of GDP and natural resource endowment have yet to be achieved. Furthermore, during the years of strong economic growth, the economy created jobs, but these were offset by the population growth. The analysis in this report lays the groundwork for more effective actions accelerating the demographic transition in Congo and facilitating the realization of the potential demographic dividend. With the right set of policies in place, the change in the structure of the population during the demographic transition offers an opportunity to capitalize on the "demographic dividend" that can help generate additional growth in the future

    Abstract: The authors use the unique experimental design of the Food Support Program (Programa Apoyo Alimentario) to analyze in-kind and cash transfers in the poor rural areas of southern states of Mexico. They compare the impacts of monthly in-kind and cash transfers of equivalent value (mean share 11.5 percent of pre-program consumption) on household welfare as measured by food and total consumption, adult labor supply, and poverty. The results show that approximately two years later the transfer has a large and positive impact on total and food consumption. There are no differences in the size of the effect of transfer in cash versus transfers in-kind on consumption. The transfer, irrespective of type, does not affect overall participation in labor market activities but induces beneficiary households to switch their labor allocation from agricultural to nonagricultural activities. The analysis finds that the program leads to a significant reduction in poverty. Overall, the findings suggest that the Food Support Program intervention is able to relax the binding liquidity constraints faced by poor agricultural households, and thus increases both equity and efficiency

    Too little too late : Welfare impacts of rainfall shocks in rural Indonesia (2011)

    Parallel Title: Skoufias, Emmanuel Too little too late
    Abstract: The authors use regression analysis to assess the potential welfare impact of rainfall shocks in rural Indonesia. In particular, they consider two shocks: (i) a delay in the onset of monsoon and (ii) a significant shortfall in the amount of rain in the 90 day post-onset period. Focusing on households with family farm businesses, the analysis finds that a delay in the monsoon onset does not have a significant impact on the welfare of rice farmers. However, rice farm households located in areas exposed to low rainfall following the monsoon are negatively affected. Rice farm households appear to be able to protect their food expenditure in the face of weather shocks at the expense of lower nonfood expenditures per capita. The authors use propensity score matching to identify community programs that might moderate the welfare impact of this type of shock. Access to credit and public works projects in communities were among the programs with the strongest moderating effects. This is an important consideration for the design and implementation of adaptation strategies
