“…We explore this question by estimating a rural rate of open defecation for Bangladesh, India, and Nepal, if households in regions that have a higher fraction of Hindus, where open defecation is common, demonstrated the same sanitation behaviours as non-Hindu households in largely non-Hindu regions, which have the lowest levels of open defecation. We use two complementary strategies: a nonparametric reweighting strategy of the sort pioneered by DiNardo, Fortin, and Lemieux (1996), 3 and linear probability models.…”

Exposure to open defecation has serious consequences for child mortality, health, and human capital development. South Asia has the highest rates of open defecation worldwide, and although the incidence declines as household income rises, differences across South Asian countries are not explained by differences in per capita income. The rate of open defecation in sub-national regions of Bangladesh, India and Nepal is highly correlated with the fraction of the population that identifies as Hindu, in part because certain rituals of purity and pollution discourage having latrines in close proximity to one’s home. Almost all open defecation occurs in rural areas, and this paper estimates how much the rate could be reduced if rural households in regions that have a higher fraction of Hindus, where open defecation is still common, altered their behaviour to reflect that of non-Hindu households in regions that are predominantly non-Hindu, where the rate of open defecation is much lower. Using nonparametric reweighting methods, this paper projects that rural open defecation in Bangladesh, India, and Nepal could be reduced to rates of between 6 and 8 per cent, compared to the prevailing level of 65 per cent.

Terms of use: Documents in Abstract (150 words)Explanations of growth in health expenditures have restricted attention to the mean. We explain change throughout the distribution of expenditures, providing insight into how growth and its explanation differ along the distribution. We analyse Dutch data on actual health expenditures linked to hospital discharge and mortality registers. Full distribution decomposition delivers findings that would be overlooked by examination of changes in the mean alone. The growth in expenditures on hospital care is strongest at the middle of the distribution and is driven mainly by changes in the distributions of determinants. Pharmaceutical expenditures increase most at the top of the distribution and are mainly attributable to structural changes, including technological progress, making treatment of the highest cost cases even more expensive. Changes in hospital practice styles make the largest contribution of all determinants to increased spending not only on hospital care but also on pharmaceuticals, suggesting important spill over effects.

“…Reduções no grau de desigualdade de renda são metas perseguidas por determinadas políticas públicas que promovem a igualdade entre os indivíduos, além de diminuir a pobreza e, principalmente, a extrema pobreza. Trabalhos como os de Hoffmann (2009) Lemieux (1996) e valem-se de dados da PNAD de 1999. Construíram densidades contrafactuais, reponderando a distribuição da Nordeste/ Ceará pelo perfil de escolaridade Sudeste/São Paulo.…”

“…Pelo exercício contrafactual, busca-se saber qual seria a contribuição das variáveis causais na distribuição de renda dos empregados. Para tanto, utiliza-se a abordagem não paramétrica tal qual apresentada por DiNardo, Fortin e Lemieux (1996) que mensura, por meio da função densidade, o fator que influencia no comportamento dos salários e os efeitos que ele incide sobre os mesmos.…”
