KLPS has generated impactful research published in leading journals across diverse fields such as economics, public health, psychology, and more. Explore some of the key publications below to dive into the insights and findings from this groundbreaking study.
To quickly get up to speed on the KLPS project, we recommend reviewing these four key papers on the Primary School Deworming Program (PSDP):
- Miguel & Kremer (2004): Provides essential background on the setting, intervention, and intestinal worms. It also introduces the concept of spatial spillovers, which informs much of the cash transfer project’s spillover analysis.
- Baird et al. (2016): Examines the 10-year follow-up effects of the PSDP. The regression specifications here form the basis for future estimates. Focus on these, as well as the fiscal externality calculations, though the latter can be explored in more detail later.
- The Illusion of Sustainability: Investigates a cost-sharing experiment within the PSDP. Understanding this is useful since its coefficient appears in PSDP-related regressions, though it’s less critical for ongoing project work.
- Twenty Year Economic Impacts of Deworming: Analyzes long-term earnings and consumption effects, showing stronger impacts for males and for those aged 12+ at baseline. Uses KLPS-4 E+ data.
