我们估计了产前食物和妇女团体的现金转移对家庭配置行为的影响，并探讨这些影响是否可以用妇女之间的代际讨价还价来解释。干预措施在尼泊尔农村的随机对照试验中进行了测试，在粮食不安全的情况下，孕妇被分配到最不充足的饮食。我们发现，参加现金转移干预的家庭给孕妇分配的多种食物（相对于她们的婆婆和男性户主）比对照组的家庭多2-3个百分点。参与食物转移干预的家庭只增加了孕妇对主食的分配（增加了2个百分点）。代际议价能力可能部分调节现金转移的影响，而不是食物转移的影响，而家庭食物预算和营养知识不调节任何影响。我们的研究结果强调了代际讨价还价在决定旨在接触和/或赋予年轻女性权力的干预措施的有效性方面的作用。尼泊尔年轻孕妇的饮食充足性低于男性或老年妇女。与妇女团体的现金转移增加了孕妇获得许多食物的份额。妇女团体的粮食转移只会增加孕妇的主食份额。女性代际讨价还价可以解释现金转移的影响，但不能解释食物转移的影响。
We estimate the effects of antenatal food and cash transfers with women's groups on household allocative behaviour and explore whether these effects are explained by intergenerational bargaining among women. Interventions were tested in randomised-controlled trial in rural Nepal, in a food-insecure context where pregnant women are allocated the least adequate diets. We show households enrolled in a cash transfer intervention allocated pregnant women with 2–3 pp larger shares of multiple foods (versus their mothers-in-law and male household heads) than households in a control group. Households in a food transfer intervention only increased pregnant women's allocation of staple foods (by 2 pp). Intergenerational bargaining power may partly mediate the effects of the cash transfers but not food transfers, whereas household food budget and nutrition knowledge do not mediate any effects. Our findings highlight the role of intergenerational bargaining in determining the effectiveness of interventions aiming to reach and/or empower junior women. Young pregnant women in Nepal have lower dietary adequacy than men or older women. Cash transfers with women groups increase pregnant women's shares of many foods. Food transfers with women groups only increase pregnant women's shares of staples. Generational bargaining by women may explain effect of cash but not food transfers.
