The Power of Assets: A Catalyst for Multidimensional Well-being
No full textAsset transfer program, known as the Big Push intervention, emerges as a powerful tool to promote multidimensional well-being among the poor. However, its effectiveness in settings with decade-long state-provided consumption support remains unclear. This study investigates the impact of asset transfers under the National Poverty Graduation Program (NPGP) in Pakistan, amid an established framework of unconditional cash transfers. Using a quasi-experimental approach, we observe significant enhancements in overall well-being, food consumption, ownership of assets, and social integration among beneficiaries. Furthermore, the NPGP encourages savings behavior among beneficiaries, contributing to their long-term financial resilience. Our findings exhibit substantial differences in the magnitude of impacts from prior studies, suggesting that the program’s design, characterized by sustained unconditional cash transfers, magnifies the incremental impact of asset transfers. While no impact on women’s empowerment was observed, suggesting prior engagement through cash transfers facilitated their participation in decision-making. This research offers valuable insights for optimizing poverty reduction strategies in similar contexts worldwide
Impact of Pathogenic E. Coli in Drinking Water on the Well-being of Children
No full textDespite global advancements, unsafe drinking water is a major cause of illness, ranked as the eighth highest worldwide (Forouzanfar et al., 2015). Studies indicate that even improved water sources, can harbour faecal contamination (Shaheed et al., 2014; Bain et al., 2014b). Globally, 1.8 billion people rely on drinking water contaminated with faecal matter (Bain et al., 2014a), with pathogenic E. coli being a primary concern. In Pakistan, the situation is dire. About 25 million people, particularly children, suffer due to open defecation, leading to 53,000 child deaths annually from diarrhoea (UNICEF, 2021). Pathogenic E. coli is a significant contributor to waterborne diseases such as diarrhoea, which is linked to stunted growth, impaired cognitive development, and increased mortality. Diarrheal diseases contribute to about 13.5% of global stunting cases (Danaei et al., 2016). In Pakistan, over 700 children under the age of five die daily from diarrheal diseases related to poor water, sanitation, and hygiene (UN, 2023). In Pakistan, the situation is particularly severe, with the country ranking third globally in water and sanitation challenges, affecting 2.1 million people (IMF, 2022). The statistics highlight the urgent need to address the waterborne disease burden, especially in vulnerable populations such as children under five, who are more susceptible to these illnesses due to their immature immune systems (CDC, 2010; Mondal et al., 2009). This study is motivated by the critical health challenges posed by unsafe drinking water, aiming to investigate the impact of household exposure to pathogenic E. coli on the physical health of children under five in Pakistan including (Stunting and Underweight) and mortality (Infant and Neonatal)
Does Central Bank Transparency Curb Foreign Exchange Vulnerability?
No full textThis study examines the relationship between central bank transparency (CBT) and foreign exchange market vulnerability, focusing on exchange market pressure (EMP) to provide a comprehensive understanding. Using panel bounds testing approach to cointegration based analysis, the study covers both developed and emerging markets, incorporating the global financial crisis (GFC) and various control variables. External policy uncertainty and FX regimes are also considered to elucidate the nuanced relationship between CBT and EMP. Findings reveal that improved CBT reduces EMP, with financial development moderating this effect, suggesting well-developed financial systems lead to more stable exchange markets. CBT consistently relieves EMP during both crisis and non-crisis periods, emphasizing the importance of information disclosure. However, CBT\u27s impact varies with FX regimes and is conditional on financial integration, which enhances CBT\u27s effectiveness in emerging markets but nullifies it and increases EMP in advanced markets, indicating that US investors\u27 behavior differs between market types
Infrastructure and Innovation: Unveiling the Impact of City Size on Individual Innovation Perceptions from a Global Dataset
No full textCities are hubs of diverse capital resources, fostering knowledge-driven environments conducive to creativity, entrepreneurship, and technological awareness. This study explores the role of socioeconomic, cultural, and demographic factors in shaping the innovation intentions of individuals, analyzing individual perceptions of science and technology’s value using a multi-wave global dataset. The three latest waves of the World Values Survey (2005-2009, 2010-2014, and 2017-2020) are used to analyze the relationship between individual intentions to innovate and the town size. The findings suggest that residents in big cities tend to see science and technology as making their lives easier, healthier, and more comfortable, and they anticipate these advancements will offer opportunities for future generations. Contrary to common perceptions, large cities’ residents do not feel that rapid technological changes disrupt their way of life or challenge moral values. They show a greater interest in understanding scientific principles behind everyday occurrences and do not believe they depend too heavily on science at the expense of faith. Individuals in individualistic countries also tend to exhibit greater enthusiasm for science and technology, potentially driving innovative behavior. Policy implications are efficiently allocating resources in cities and developing smaller towns into innovation-driven regions rich in skilled human capital, promoting continuous innovation dynamics. This study contributes to understanding how socioeconomic factors influence attitudes towards science and technology, informing strategies to foster innovation and prosperity in urban settings
