针对妇女的暴力行为是一个重大的健康和人权问题，但几乎没有严格的证据表明如何减少暴力行为。我们利用厄瓜多尔向母亲随机推出的现金转移计划来调查女性收入的外生增长如何影响家庭暴力。我们发现现金转移的效果取决于女性的教育程度以及她相对于其伴侣的教育程度。我们的研究结果表明，对于受过小学以上教育的女性来说，现金转移可以显着减少来自伴侣的心理暴力。然而，对于受过小学或以下教育的女性来说，现金转移的效果取决于她相对于其伴侣的教育程度。具体而言，现金转移会显着增加妇女受教育程度等于或高于其伴侣的家庭中的情感暴力。 (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
Violence against women is a major health and human rights problem yet there is little rigorous evidence as to how to reduce it. We take advantage of the randomized roll-out of Ecuador's cash transfer program to mothers to investigate how an exogenous increase in a woman's income affects domestic violence. We find that the effect of a cash transfer depends on a woman's education and on her education relative to her partner's. Our results show that for women with greater than primary school education a cash transfer significantly decreases psychological violence from her partner. For women with primary school education or less, however, the effect of a cash transfer depends on her education relative to her partner's. Specifically, the cash transfer significantly increases emotional violence in households where the woman's education is equal to or more than her partner's. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
