Replication Data for: Attanasio OP, Oppedisano V, and Vera-Hernández M. (2015). Should Cash Transfers Be Conditional? Conditionality, Preventive Care, and Health Outcomes. American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, 7(2), 35–52.
No full textA 2015 analysis by Attanasio, et al. examines the effect of a conditionality requirement for a preventive care cash transfer program on preventive care visits for children born to mothers before and after the requirement. The authors conclude that children excluded from the conditionality requirement had 50% fewer preventive care visits. We question the validity of the model specification employed by the authors, due to the heteroscedasticity and excess zeroes of the dependent variable. We fit alternative model specifications that have improved goodness of fit for a count variable. We show that there may be no effect of the conditionality requirement on influencing preventive care behaviors

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
