[Brownbag] Abstract for Brown Bag Seminar December 7: Sarah Reynolds

[Monique Verrier]

Dear brown bag community,

In case anyone is wondering what "CCTs" refers to, please find below the 
abstract for the December 7 Demography brown bag presentation by Sarah 
Reynolds titled, "The Impact of CCTs on Teenage Girls? School Attendance 
and Fertility in Brazil."

Thanks,

Monique


ABSTRACT:
In 2008, Brazil's conditional cash transfer program expanded its reach by 
offering poor families increasing the maximum age for which youth would be 
eligible to receive benefits for attending school from fifteen to 
seventeen. We use a difference in difference age cohort analysis to 
analyze the impact of this expansion of the program on school attendance 
and on teens' fertility outcomes.  Our preliminary analyses show 
significant impacts of the program change on both attendance and fertility 
outcomes for sixteen-year-olds, but not for seventeen-year-olds.
