ECIN Replication Package for "Do unconditional cash transfers increase fertility? Lessons from a large-scale program"

<span>We examine the impact of unconditional cash
transfers (UCTs) on fertility. We develop a theoretical model that demonstrates
how UCTs affect fertility decisions, time allocations for leisure, labor and
childrearing, and child health through health spending. We then empirically
examine the impact of UCTs on fertility in Pakistan. <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Our
theoretical model suggests that under certain conditions, UCTs are likely to
increase fertility if UCTs increase child health regardless of how they affect parental
leisure, labor and childrearing time</a>.
The empirical results suggest that UCTs have a positive effect on
fertility.</span><br>
