| Sumario: | This paper examines the unintentional effects of Programa Juntos (a Conditional Cash Transfer Program in Peru) on agriculture outcomes using data from household surveys, and a Differences-in-Differences estimator. I found evidence of potential negative effects of program on agriculture; particularly the evidence suggests that program reduces the value of agricultural production and the hectares of land used; these results are opposite to previous empirical evidence for the Latin American context. To explore some causal chains, I estimate the effects of program on labor supply; I found that the program can generates a disincentive effect on adult labor supply for agriculture. |
