Essays in development and public economics
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This dissertation, Essays in Development and Public Economics, comprises three chapters of theoretical and empirical research investigating various topics in development and public economics. The first chapter explores a new welfare benefit of imposing conditions to send children to school on cash transfers in developing countries. The second chapter develops a method to decompose income inequality into differences in individual productivities vs. differences in individual preferences for consumption relative to leisure. Finally, the third chapter investigates why parents may optimally invest more in their first child relative to their later-born children, focusing on the context of India.
