我们介绍了印度一项创新的反贫困计划的随机试验结果。该计划不是提供安全网，而是为“超级贫困”家庭提供投入，以创造新的生计和实现经济独立。我们没有发现有统计学意义的证据表明，对消费、收入或资产积累产生了持久的净影响。主要影响是时间使用的重新优化：新生计带来的收入大幅增长完全被工资劳动收入的下降所抵消。这一结果突显了替代经济选择的存在如何影响净影响和外部有效性。
We present results from a randomized trial of an innovative anti-poverty program in India. Instead of a safety net, the program provides “ultra-poor” households with inputs to create a new livelihood and attain economic independence. We find no statistically significant evidence of lasting net impact on consumption, income or asset accumulation. The main impact was the re-optimization of time use: sharp gains in income from the new livelihood were fully offset by lower earnings from wage labor. The result highlights how the existence of alternative economic options shapes net impacts and external validity.
