what’s wrong with the philippine higher educationiBoP Asia
The document discusses the state of higher education in the Philippines. It notes that while there are over 1,000 universities and colleges, only a handful can be considered institutions of higher learning and advanced instruction in sciences, mathematics, and engineering. The quality of higher education has generally been poor, with many graduates lacking skills needed in the labor market. This is traced to the government's populist policy that aimed to make college accessible to many despite constraints on resources, leading to the proliferation of higher education institutions without proper standards or regulation.
Dire que les études de médecine sont parmi les plus longues est un lieu commun. L’internat de santé publique et médecine sociale n’y fait pas exception. Grâce à un apprentissage de 4 ans, comprenant tant une formation théorique par l’acquisition de connaissances transversales et spécialisées qu’une formation pratique variée à travers 8 stages en milieu professionnel, cette formation permet d’aboutir à des postes à responsabilité dans le domaine de la santé publique.

This document provides an overview of a study that estimates a dynamic agricultural production model using observed subjective distributions from farmers in Tanzania. The key points are:
1) The study measures farmers' subjective probability distributions over expected crop prices and yields at different points throughout the growing season. This allows the authors to relax rational expectations assumptions and incorporate observed expectations.
2) The model assumes crops grow according to a nested CES production function with labor, pesticides, and lagged output as inputs. Farmers are assumed to maximize expected profits subject to shocks modeled by subjective distributions.
3) Identification of the shock distributions gt(θt) is needed to estimate the model parameters but the study only observes subjective output
The document presents a dynamic discrete choice model of demand for insecticide treated nets (ITNs) that accounts for time inconsistent preferences and unobserved heterogeneity. The model has three periods where agents make ITN purchase and retreatment decisions. Agents are either time consistent, "naive" time inconsistent, or "sophisticated" time inconsistent. The model is identified in two steps - first when types are directly observed using survey responses, and second when types are unobserved. Identification exploits variation from elicited beliefs about malaria risk. The model can point identify time preference parameters and utility functions up to a normalization.
This document summarizes a study on the long-term effects of teacher performance pay in India. The study conducted a 5-year randomized controlled trial across hundreds of schools in Andhra Pradesh.

Hiring knowledge agents to spread information about a public health insurance scheme in rural India had a positive impact on villagers' knowledge about the scheme. The effect was entirely driven by agents on incentive pay contracts, who received bonuses based on villagers' knowledge levels. Improved knowledge, in turn, increased enrollment in the scheme. Social distance between agent and villager had a negative impact on knowledge transmission, but incentive pay canceled out this effect. The study used a randomized controlled trial to test these relationships, hiring different types of agents (fixed pay vs incentive pay) across villages.
1. The document analyzes maternal beliefs about the technology of skill formation in children.
2. Objective estimates of the technology are obtained using data on skills, investments, and health conditions of children over time. These estimates find that investments have a statistically significant effect on skills.

The document summarizes research on the quality of life insurance advice provided by agents in India. It finds that agents overwhelmingly recommend whole life policies over term life policies, even when term policies better meet customers' needs for risk coverage at low cost. Agents are motivated to recommend whole life due to higher commissions. The research tests whether the quality of advice improves when disclosure requirements make agency problems more transparent or when competition is increased. It uses an audit study approach with standardized customer profiles to evaluate agent recommendations across conditions.
The document summarizes a study that evaluated the impact of a business literacy intervention in rural Mexico.

The document discusses the development of a new type of solar cell using quantum dots. It provides details on the materials and methods used, including different sizes of lead sulfide quantum dots synthesized through hot injection. Performance results are presented showing power conversion efficiencies up to 7.1% for these quantum dot solar cells, representing progress toward lower cost photovoltaic technology.
Digital logic gates such as AND, OR, NAND, NOR, XOR and XNOR gates can be combined to perform operations on binary inputs and build basic circuits. Boolean algebra expressions are used to represent the logic functions implemented by these circuits. Multiple gates can be connected together in series and in parallel to build more complex combinational logic circuits such as half and full adders that are essential components of digital systems.
Cash and vouchers led to starkly different purchasing patterns. Voucher recipients purchased fewer types of items compared to cash recipients, indicating the voucher was extra-marginal for some food items. However, there were few differences in other outcomes like food security and asset ownership between the groups. Cash recipients were able to save more of the transfer value since vouchers could only be spent on certain goods. The voucher program also had higher costs for the implementing agency than cash transfers.
This study examines the stability of social, risk, and time preferences over multiple years using data from 2002, 2007, 2009, and 2010. The main findings are:
1. Risk preferences are not stable over time, while time preferences are highly stable.
2. Experimental measures of social preferences like altruism and trust show little stability over time.
3. There is some evidence that previous experimental outcomes can influence preferences in later experiments, such as being unlucky increasing later risk aversion or being paired with a generous partner increasing later generosity.
4. However, the impacts across experiments are small and the results should be interpreted cautiously due to sample attrition and differences in experimental designs over the years.
The study evaluated the impact of an alternative cash transfer program for education in Morocco that provided small, unlabeled cash transfers to fathers in poor communities. Over two years:
1. The unconditional cash transfers reduced the school dropout rate by 67-75% among children enrolled at baseline and increased school reentry by 85% among previous dropouts.
2. Adding attendance conditions did not provide additional educational gains compared to the unconditional transfers.
3. There was also little difference in impacts between transfers made to mothers versus fathers.
4. The program appeared to work in part by changing parents' perceptions of the returns to education and quality of local schools, without directly imposing conditions.
This document describes a study examining how increased access to mobile phones impacted small boat manufacturers in Kerala, India. The researchers conducted a census of 143 boat builders from 1997-2004, collecting data on output, prices, and boat quality. Prior to phones, builders only served local demand. Phones increased information sharing, allowing fishermen to learn about distant builders. This likely expanded each builder's effective market size. The study tests if this led more productive builders to grow and less productive ones to exit, increasing average firm size and productivity over time. The natural experiment from phone diffusion provides an opportunity to study these impacts.
This document discusses a new approach to measuring the impact of foreign labor on native employment. It presents two natural experiments using data on H-2A visa workers and unemployment insurance records from North Carolina farms. The results section analyzes the effect of the recession on job referrals and native labor supply, finding that higher unemployment led to more job referrals but lower native employment, suggesting native workers withdrew from the labor market during economic downturns.
The document discusses increasing girls' enrollment in secondary schools in India. It notes that the gender gap in education is more pronounced in Bihar, with girls' enrollment dropping off sharply at age 14 when transitioning to secondary schools. Distance to secondary schools is a major barrier, with enrollment declining as distance increases. The authors propose exploring cost-effective, scalable alternatives to expanding access beyond the default approach of school construction, such as providing bicycles.
This paper examines middleman margins and the impact of providing price information to potato farmers in West Bengal, India. It finds that middlemen earn very large margins of 50-90% of farmgate prices on average. When farmers were provided daily wholesale market price information, it had no average effect on prices received but increased volatility, consistent with a bargaining model. This suggests neither risk-sharing nor asymmetric information play a major role in middlemen margins. The key cause of high margins appears to be the market power of middlemen in the hierarchical potato marketing system.
This document summarizes a study on daily income targets and labor supply among 257 Kenyan bicycle taxi drivers. The study collected detailed daily logs from participants over several months, including whether they had a cash need that day and if so, the amount. The results suggest that drivers (1) have cash needs that vary substantially and put them off until the last day, (2) work more on high-need days, and (3) are more likely to quit after reaching their target for the day. Providing unexpected cash payments did not affect labor supply. The study aims to better understand how individuals without formal work arrangements motivate themselves to meet daily income targets.
This study evaluates a performance incentive program in Mexican high schools aimed at improving mathematics achievement. It provided monetary incentives to students (T1), teachers (T2), or both (T3) based on scores on curriculum-aligned mathematics tests. The program was implemented over three school years in 88 schools randomly assigned to treatment or control groups. Initial results found positive effects on test scores, with the largest effects in the treatment combining incentives for both students and teachers.
1) The document describes a field experiment that randomized offers of index insurance to agricultural households in India to study the interaction between formal insurance and informal risk-sharing networks.
2) It finds that the presence of strong informal risk-sharing networks through castes/jatis reduces demand for formal insurance, and that basis risk, where payouts do not perfectly correlate with losses, also reduces demand.
3) However, informal and formal insurance can be complements when basis risk is high, as both provide partial coverage against different risks. The study uses detailed survey and rainfall data on castes/jatis to characterize their risk-sharing practices.
The document discusses a study on the impact of female property rights on suicide rates in India. It notes that women's ability to inherit property is restricted in many societies, including in India. The study uses variation in property rights for women generated by state amendments to inheritance laws and land reforms. It develops a model of intra-household bargaining incorporating conflict and finds that better property rights for women are associated with a decrease in the gender difference in suicide rates but an increase in overall male and female suicide rates, possibly due to increased intra-household conflict from challenging traditional gender roles.
The document analyzes how pro-poor growth, or reducing poverty, will impact global energy demand. It develops an economic model showing that as household income grows over time in a nonlinear way, ownership of durable goods like refrigerators also increases nonlinearly. The model predicts that the pace of income growth matters, with more uneven income growth leading to higher durable ownership. Analysis of a Mexican anti-poverty program confirms the model's predictions, showing that households receiving more uneven transfers over time were more likely to acquire refrigerators. The findings suggest that projections of energy demand need to account for how rapidly populations rise out of poverty to avoid underestimating future demand.
The document describes an experiment conducted in Malawi to test if job referral networks disadvantage women. The experiment found that when people could refer either men or women, only 30% of referrals were women, compared to 38% of initial applicants. However, when people could only refer one gender, men and women referred at similar rates regardless of the gender they were restricted to. This suggests social incentives rather than differences in productivity lead referral networks to disadvantage women.
This document summarizes a study evaluating Mexico's Hábitat program, which aims to improve infrastructure and quality of life in marginalized urban areas. The study uses a randomized saturation design where municipalities were randomly assigned a treatment fraction, and polygons within municipalities were then randomly assigned as treatment or control. Over 9,700 households were surveyed at baseline in 2009 and follow-up in 2012 to evaluate impacts on infrastructure access, health, social capital, and other outcomes. The randomized design at multiple levels aims to quantify program impacts while accounting for potential spillovers between treatment and control areas.
This document summarizes research on the relationship between medieval trade and religious tolerance in South Asia. The key findings are:
1) Medieval ports in South Asia that benefited from overseas trade centuries ago experienced significantly less Hindu-Muslim violence over the last 200 years compared to other towns, despite being more ethnically diverse.
2) This effect is attributed to the exogenous and non-replicable complementarities between Hindu and Muslim communities that arose from medieval trade, not other factors like wealth, geography, or institutions alone.
3) The research provides evidence that exogenous changes generating robust inter-ethnic complementarities can have a lasting positive impact on peaceful coexistence in ethnically diverse societies.
The paper analyzes the price effects of cash versus in-kind transfers using data from a randomized experiment in Mexico. It finds that:
1) Prices for goods decline more for in-kind transfers than for cash transfers, with the difference in price effects being statistically significant.
2) The price effects are larger in more remote villages, consistent with those villages having more closed economies and less competition.
3) The results provide empirical evidence that in-kind transfers can have larger impacts on prices than cash transfers due to introducing supply as well as demand for goods in local markets.
The document discusses subsidies for malaria treatment. It notes that malaria kills over 1 million people per year. A new effective drug called ACT is available but unaffordable for most. A program called AMFm aims to reduce ACT prices via subsidies to improve access and fight drug resistance, but there is a risk of overtreatment which could waste money and contribute to drug resistance. The paper aims to study how to balance improved access and targeting of subsidies for ACT malaria treatment.
This document summarizes a study that evaluated the impact of a mobile phone-based agricultural advice and information service called Avaaj Otalo (AO) on cotton farmers in Gujarat, India. The study used a randomized controlled trial with 1,200 farmers randomized to either receive AO, AO plus physical extension sessions, or serve as pure controls. The study examined the impact on sources of information, agricultural knowledge, and farming practices. It also analyzed peer effects and information sharing. The results of the study will provide insights into the effectiveness of using mobile phones to deliver agricultural extension services and the diffusion of information among farmers.

The Golden Group is over. Can a new group step up? Two years ago, Kevin De Bruyne plunged Belgium’s Euro 2024 plans into disorder when he claimed the team was “too old” to win in an interview with The Protector. That Belgian squad had 10 players over 30 and the maximum average age of any Euro Cup 2024 team at the competition. A group-stage exit and just one goal at the World Cup put Belgium on course for a restructure.

Coach Domenico Tedesco has managed a tactical shakeup and a regular exit for some of the oldest players. Experienced bests remain, not least the 37-year-old Jan Vertonghen in defense, the 32-year-old De Bruyne himself in midfield, and 31-year-old Romelu Lukaku up visible.
Still, younger actors like De Bruyne’s Manchester City partner Jeremy Doku bring fresh vitality to the team. Euro Cup Germany Qualifying unbeaten with just four goals allowed from eight games was a welcome sign of accomplishment back on track under Tedesco.
The only other squad in Group E besides Belgium to UEFA Euro 2024 qualify unbeaten, Romania was awestruck by winning a group that also checked Switzerland and Israel. Still, Euro 2024 will test a squad sorely lacking in top-level skill.
