OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

This study looks jointly at the health effects of the world’s largest demand-side maternal cash transfer program—India’s Janani Suraksha Yojana and community health worker (CHW) interactions. Using difference-in-differences, I exploit the differences in the percentage rollout of both policy instruments across districts. Preliminary results indicate that cash transfers and CHW interactions increase delivery in a public institution and reduce neonatal mortality.
