Financial Incentives in Health: New Evidence from India's Janani Suraksha Yojana
Full text linkThis paper studies the health effects of one of the world’s largest demand-side financial
incentive programmes – India’s Janani Suraksha Yojana. Our difference-in-difference
estimates exploit heterogeneity in the timing of the introduction of the financial incentive
programme across districts. We find that cash incentives to women increased access to
maternity services but failed to improve neonatal or early neonatal mortality, even in
districts with relatively high quality of care. The positive effects on utilisation are larger
for less educated, poorer, and ethnically marginalised women. We also find evidence of
unintended consequences. The financial incentive programme was associated with a
substitution away from private health providers, an increase in fertility and a positive
improvement in breastfeeding behaviour. These findings demonstrate the potential for
financial incentives to have unanticipated health effects, which may, in the case of
fertility, directly undermine the programme’s own objective of reducing mortality

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Impact of Janani Suraksha Yojana on institutional delivery and infant Mortality Rate in Karanataka
No full textThe Government of India launched the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) mainly to strengthen health services in the rural areas. It seeks to provide effective health care to the rural population by improving access, enabling community ownership, strengthening public health systems, enhancing accountability and promoting decentralization (Ministry of Health & Family Welfare 2005). Under the NRHM, there is a specific scheme, the Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY), which was introduced in April 2005. The main objective of JSY scheme is reducing Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) and Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) by encouraging institutional deliveries, particularly in Below Poverty Line families. The paper intends to study the impact of Janani Suraksha Yojana on institutional delivery and Infant Mortality rate. The results show that before implementation of JSY the rate of institutional delivery was less and IMR was high. But after the implementation of JSY the number of institutional deliveries has increased and infant mortality rate has reduced significantly. Finally, it can be concluded that NRHM launched by Government of India holds great hopes and promises to serve the deprived undeserved communities of rural areas. If Government improves the awareness on Janani Suraksha Yojana then there is no doubt that Karnataka can increase its institutional delivery and reduce infant mortality rate
