Identifying the effect of targeted money transfers on women’s empowerment

This project aims at identifying the empowerment effect of targeting transfers to women.

The identification strategy relies on a field experiment implemented among women in Macedonia to identify their willingness to pay for privately receiving a transfer instead of their husbands privately receiving the transfer.
