Using survey data from Sangli district in Maharashtra, it finds that the availability of basic public services is significantly higher in female sarpanch villages compared to the male sarpanch villages when the former have been in the job for three to three-and-a-half years. Indeed, reservations have had a significant positive impact on the democratic participation of women in female sarpanch villages though the positive effects in terms of service delivery and democratic participation will take some more time to materialise."],["dc.identifier.gro","3149531"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/6212"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["dc.title","Can the female sarpanch deliver?"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

In particular, we estimate models of undernutrition jointly for the three countries to explore regional patterns of undernutrition that transcend boundaries, while allowing for country‐specific interactions. We use geo‐additive regression models to flexibly model the effects of selected socioeconomic covariates and spatial effects. Inference is fully Bayesian based on recent Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques. While the socioeconomic determinants generally confirm findings from the literature, we find distinct residual spatial patterns that are not explained by the socioeconomic determinants. In particular, there appears to be a belt transcending boundaries and running from southern Tanzania to northeastern Zambia which exhibits much worse undernutrition. These findings have important implications for planning, as well as in the search for left‐out variables that might account for these residual spatial patterns."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1002/psp.524"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/14981"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.title","Geo-additive models of childhood undernutrition in three sub-Saharan African countries"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Despite a large part of the Indonesian population residing in rural areas, no studies currently exist that thoroughly analyze the factors determining rural income dynamics for the years after the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997/98. Utilizing a new panel data set collected in Central Sulawesi, this study aims to shed more light on rural livelihoods and therefore investigates the socio–economic factors driving the income process of Indonesian farmers at rainforest margins. Our results indicate that a sharp increase in rural incomes took place in the post–crisis period. While traditional agriculture still constitutes the backbone of household incomes, the ability to alleviate poverty and to enjoy income growth has been strongly associated with a household’s ability to diversify into the non–agricultural sector of the economy, to focus on higher valueadded agricultural activities and its capability to invest into new production techniques.

In particular, we investigate the relative roles of nonfarm incomes and productivity improvements achieved via changes in crops versus improvements on the same crops on income dynamics. Framing the article in the context of an optimal labor allocation model, relying on unique household panel data from Central Sulawesi, and using advanced panel econometric methods, we find that local innovations related to the adoption and intensification of new cash crop varieties, more specifically the shift from coffee to cocoa production, can explain a substantial part of the observed post‐crisis developments. Causal estimates of the effect of growing cocoa suggest that households were on average able to achieve about 14% higher income levels during the post‐crisis period compared to the planting of other crops, most notably coffee. Also, our results demonstrate the importance of engagement in nonfarm activities for household income growth.

Bearing these facts in mind, it is striking how little is known about causes and mechanism of the underlying determinants of poverty in rural Indonesia. In this study we aim to shed more light on the determinants of rural incomes and poverty in Indonesia. Drawing on a unique and highly detailed rural household panel data set for Central Sulawesi we investigate what are the drivers of rural income growth. Moreover, exploiting the panel structure of our data set we are able to control explicitly for individual- and time-specific effects and for endogeneity issues in our estimations. In addition, in order to identify whether our findings might hold lessons for all of Indonesia, we upscale our analysis to the national level by comparing our results with the national household data survey SUSENAS.
