The Policy Research Working Paper Series disseminates the findings of work in progress to encourage the exchange of ideas about development issues. An objective of the series is to get the findings out quickly, even if the presentations are less than fully polished. The papers carry the names of the authors and should be cited accordingly. The findings, interpretations, and conclusions expressed in this paper are entirely those of the authors.

“…We correct the p-values for our coefficients for multiplicity of tested hypotheses (List et al, 2019;Barsbai et al, 2020). The uncorrected p-values in Table E1 can be directly interpreted in case of interest in the impact of our intervention on a specific outcome.…”

When Distrust Goes Viral – Causal Eﬀects of Covid-19 on European Political Attitudes

et al. 2020

To investigate how Covid-19 is shaping the way Europeans think about institutions, we conducted a large online survey experiment during the first wave of the epidemic (June). With a randomised survey ow we varied whether respondents are given Covid-related treatment questions first, before answering the outcome questions. We find that the crisis has severely undermined trust in politicians, the media, the EU and social welfare spending financed by taxes. This is mainly due to economic insecurity, but also because of health concerns. We also uncover a rallying effect around (scientific) expertise combined with populist policies losing ground.

“…A multiple hypothesis testing (MHT) is done to jointly identify effects. The recent stata command provided by Barsbai et al (2020) 8 is used for this exercise. It improves on the List et al (2019) procedure (mhtexp) and becomes regression-based and permits for inclusion of control variables, while allowing for multiple outcomes and treatments.…”

The effect of women's nutrition knowledge and empowerment on child nutrition outcomes in rural Ethiopia

Child malnutrition remains widespread in Ethiopia. Women's nutrition knowledge and empowerment are emphasized as key impact pathways for nutritionsensitive programs and interventions. This paper examines effects of women's nutrition knowledge and empowerment on child nutrition outcomes using survey data from rural Ethiopia. Employing econometric strategies that account for potential endogeneity concerns, nutrition knowledge, and empowerment are found to have strong and significant effects on children's dietary diversity and stunting. Their interaction is significantly correlated only with stunting, perhaps suggesting the importance of the interaction between nutrition knowledge and empowerment for long-term nutrition outcomes. A disaggregated analysis of empowerment reveals that empowering women in household agricultural decisions and increasing their access to and control of economic resources are more promising for improving child nutrition. Overall, the findings suggest that efforts targeting to improve child nutrition in Ethiopia need to be complemented by efforts to improve women's nutrition knowledge and empowerment.
