‘even without taking into account other possible benefits of unconditional cash transfers (such as consumption gains)’
Presumably we’ll know from the study when it comes out, which will be exciting, but if mother’s are spending the money on services related to making their pregnancy/delivery safer, will they also receive the same amount of consumption gains? - I’d think these more general gains would be lower unless the pregnancy related costs are a lot less than the value of the transfer.
