This thesis uses the tools of applied econometrics to study the impact of economic incentives on household welfare and decision-making and health and risk behaviors in the U.S. and in developing countries.The first chapter studies the impact of increasing access to credit among low-income households in Mexico. Banco Azteca opened 815 branches simultaneously in a popular retail chain store, Grupo Elektra, in October 2002. Although access to credit increased, affected households experience negative or null impacts on consumption expenditures and asset holdings. I argue that this because the bank encourages individual borrowers to use loans for consumption use at Grupo Elektra. This research demonstrates that the package within which the loan is offered is as important as the loan itself.The second chapter focuses on the impact of job loss to dual-earner married couples on household fertility decisions, drawing upon the recent experience of job loss during the Great Recession. I build two datasets, covering the years 2003-2011 that match job losses due to mass layoff events to fertility rates among married couples at the county-year and state-quarter level. I find that job losses have a negative impact on fertility. However, areas with more dual-earner households experience lesser declines in fertility rates in response to job losses, suggesting that dual-earner households are more likely to substitute toward child-rearing in response to job loss compared to single-earner households.The third chapter, joint with Lisa Cameron and Manisha Shah, exploits the criminalization of sex work in a district in East Java, Indonesia, and utilizes a unique dataset comprised of the first panel data on female sex workers and the first data on clients to estimate the impact of criminalizing sex work on health and risk behaviors. Criminalization increased STI rates among female sex workers by 58 percent. The main mechanism driving this increase is decreased access to condoms and increased non-condom use during commercial sex transactions. We rule out other mechanisms, such as increased transactions or clients per sex worker. This research presents new evidence that criminalizing sex work can put an already vulnerable population in a more precarious situation.

The first essay tackles the role of subsidized contraception in influencing fertility. It draws on two types of disruptions that affected the public supply of free contraceptives in the Philippines: a sharp reduction induced by the phase out of contraceptive donations to the country from an external donor coupled with a government policy that withdrew public funding to fill the supply shortfall, and substantial fluctuations in the shipment of free contraceptives to the country's provinces that were brought about by supply chain issues. It finds that birth rates were responsive to both broad and transitory changes in public contraceptive supply: provinces which experienced bigger declines in the supply of free contraceptives also had larger increases (or smaller decreases) in birth rates, while temporary supply drops (increases) were followed by rising (falling) birth rates. It also identifies poor, low-educated, and rural women as groups which may have difficulties coping with short-term gaps in public contraceptive supply. The second essay develops a novel approach of framing couple decision making as a deliberative and engaging process that may lead to a spouse prevailing over the other, but not necessarily so, in which case the decision-making authority is shared between spouses. It argues that when joint decision making is observed, it could be interpreted as indicative of cooperative spousal behavior. Using a rich dataset from a homogenous set of communities in the Philippines, it explores the patterns of household consumption spending that accompany the characterized decision-making arrangement. After controlling for total household resources and several factors that influence each spouse's bargaining power, the evidence suggests that children fare more favorably under couple's joint decision making than under sole decision making by either the mother or the father. This result likely stems from couples' ability to coordinate their spending priorities under joint decision making, which mitigates the underprovision of household public goods. The third essay, which is joint work with David Neumark and William Wascher, assesses recent studies claiming that estimates from the panel data approach used in much of the "new minimum wage research" are flawed because this approach fails to account for spatial heterogeneity. These recent studies use research designs intended to control for this heterogeneity, and conclude that minimum wages in the United States have not reduced employment. The essay explores the ability of these research designs to isolate reliable identifying information and tests their untested assumptions about the construction of better control groups. It presents evidence pointing to serious problems with these research designs. Moreover, it shows that new methods which let the data identify the appropriate control groups leads to evidence of disemployment effects, with teen employment elasticities near -0.15. It concludes that the evidence still shows that minimum wages pose a tradeoff of higher wages for some against job losses for others, and that policymakers need to bear this tradeoff in mind when making decisions about increasing the minimum wage.
