Smoothing, discounting, and demand for intra-household control for recipients of conditional cash transfers
Inter-temporal preferences are important determinants of investment decisions, including investments in human capital. Yet, little is known about these preferences for recipients of conditional cash transfers (CCTs). We simultaneously estimate utility curvature (preference for consumption smoothing)...
