Our paper [@ValliElsa @TiaPalermo] w/@TransferProjct is finally online at #EDCC!
We examine impacts of Govt of Ghana's 🇬🇭 LEAP 1000 cash + health insurance waiver on IPV
Findings indicate moderate ⬇️ in IPV aligning w/ bulk of existing evidence

A few details:
* ⬇️ primarily on physical & emotional IPV [rather than sexual IPV]
* ⬇️ on intensive margin [index incl. frequency of acts] show average impacts
* ⬇️ on extensive margin ["any IPV"] only accrue to non-polygamous sample

Differences by HH structure are in contrast to @rachelmheath et al. paper on IPV in Mali [who find ⬆️ impacts among poly HHs]
We cannot pinpoint the exact mechanism - however 1 obvious difference is men in Mali [vs women in Ghana] receive transfers

We unpack mechanisms, following framework by Buller et al. & finding evidence of:
* Poverty pathway
* Women's empowerment pathway
Lots of interesting Qs still outstanding on mechanisms & design features [in progress qual study to dig into some of these!]

Last point: IPV levels are *high* - possibly a function of the sample - young women who are pregnant or have a young child
12-month measures in study sample > nat-stats via Ghana DHS
Clearly much more needs to be done for IPV prevention!
