Investing cash transfers to raise long term living standards

Investing cash transfers to raise long term living standards
By:Paul Gertler,Sebastián Martínez,Marta Rubio-Codina,World Bank. Human Development Network. Office of the Vice President
Published on 2006 by



The authors test whether poor households use cash transfers to invest in income generating activities that they otherwise would not have been able to do. Using data from a controlled randomized experiment, they find that transfers from the Oportunidades program to households in rural Mexico resulted in increased investment in micro-enterprise and agricultural activities. For each peso transferred, beneficiary households used 88 cents to purchase consumption goods and services, and invested the rest. The investments improved the household's ability to generate income with an estimated rate of return of 17.55 percent, suggesting that these households were both liquidity and credit constrained. By investing transfers to raise income, beneficiary households were able to increase their consumption by 34 percent after five and a half years in the program. The results suggest that cash transfers to the poor may raise long-term living standards, which are maintained after program benefits end.

Ranking independent timber investments by alternative investment criteria By:Thomas John Mills,Gary E. Dixon,Pacific Southwest Forest and Range Experiment Station (Berkeley, Calif.) Published on 1982 by A sample of 231 independent timber investments were ranked by internal rate of return, present net worth per acre and the benefit cost ratio--the last two discounted by 3, 6.4. 7.5. and 10 percent--to determine if the different criteria had a practical influence on timber investment ranking. The samples in this study were drawn from a group of timber investments partially financed by Forestry Incentives Program costshare funds. The investment rankings were quite similar among the three criteria. Under constrained investment budgets, the benefit/cost criteria produced the investment selection with the greatest cumulative present net worth.
