Essays on Family Welfare and Indian Development Policy

ResearchPublished Dec 16, 2014

My dissertation is concerned with family welfare and economic development in India. In my first two papers, I consider the potential for India's public works program to contribute to long-term growth and poverty reduction by examining the impact on household entrepreneurship and investments in child health. The third paper analyzes the impact of increasing male earnings inequality on female marital and education outcomes.
