Targeting Cash to Malawi's Ultra‐Poor: A Mixed Methods Evaluation

Governments target transfers so that limited resources reach impoverished households; targeting errors therefore indicate inefficiency in resource use and inability to reach the poorest households. This article examines the Malawi Social Cash Transfer Scheme (SCTS), using mixed methods and multiple data sources, including examination of underlying assumptions, the operationalisation of key concepts, questions of implementation, and errors of inclusion and exclusion. Despite serious challenges, the scheme's error rates are within the range of global averages. Its impressive impacts provide strong motivation for improving the targeting process before it is scaled up to the national level.

用户隐私风险感知对平台社交账号登录方式选择的影响研究

互联网平台向用户开放社交账号登录,在方便用户登录的同时,可通过共享用户信息提升广告定向能力。本文通过构建博弈模型,在考虑用户隐私风险感知时,研究社交账号登录对平台、广告主和用户三方的影响以及平台开放社交账号登录的决策选择。研究结果表明,因用户隐私风险感知的存在,平台不一定会开放社交账号登录。当隐私敏感用户占比较高时,若社交账号登录为平台带来定向能力提升值较高,开放社交账号登录反而会降低平台收益。此外,研究还发现,若平台开放社交账号登录,不同隐私风险感知的用户占比及平台定向能力提升值都将影响平台的广告定向能力及社交账号登录的引流效果。     

Contested universalism: from Bonosol to Renta Dignidad in Bolivia

Bolivia is the only Latin American country to feature a universal old-age pension scheme. Though strikingly modest, originating at US$248 per annum, this benefit runs counter to the prevailing targeting paradigm. Ten years after the scheme's controversial start in South America's poorest country, this article is the first to focus on the interesting political economy of the universal benefit. The introduction of the benefit was not motivated by social policy considerations but by the desire to privatise state-owned enterprises and pensions. Conceived by neoliberal structural reformers, the benefit was challenged first by the international financial institutions and then by Bolivia's developmentalist government, before the latter found a way to reconcile its re-nationalisation project with a re-branded universal pension.
