Full textLow birth weight is a global health problem, especially in developing countries. Approximately 16% of all new-borns in developing countries were born with low birth weight. Motivated by this troublesome fact, this research evaluates policies that target maternal and children's health in low-resource settings. The following three essays analyze community-based and household-based health interventions. Program evaluation is important to inform future policy, and more importantly, to compare policies in order to determine the most effective strategies to improve birth outcomes in developing countries. Indonesia has implemented both community-based and household-based interventions. The three essays in this research evaluate the following three programs. The first two essays evaluate two recent programs: a household-based program, Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH), and a community-based program, PNPM Generasi Sehat dan Cerdas (Generasi ). The third essay evaluates the 'Midwife in the Village' ( Bidan di Desa) program. The 'Midwife in the Village' program is a community-based program that was implemented in the 1980s to provide each village with a trained midwife to provide prenatal care and delivery assistance. The other two programs, PKH and Generasi, were piloted in 2007. PKH is a household Conditional Cash-Transfer (CCT) program, while Generasi, functions a community CCT program; the community CCT program provides villages with block grants to fund activities that promote health and education.
The first essay analyzes the effects of Indonesia's household CCT program on the price and quality of health care services, and how these changes affect poor households. In this paper, I focus on price changes in the health care market because it is directly affected by the program and health care providers may increase prices in response to increased demand. The program is associated with higher utilization of health care, driven by increased utilization among the poor, who also experience higher quality of care. The quality improvement in the target population is driven by increased utilization, and not an improvement in quality at the local health care market. In response to the demand shock from the CCT program, I find a price increase in sub-districts that are randomized into treatment, which suggests the importance of supply response in demand-side interventions.
The second essay compares the relative effectiveness of household CCT and community CCT programs in improving birth outcomes in similar communities. Both programs have been shown to improve health-seeking behavior, but it has not been established whether these indicators translate into improved birth outcomes. To select comparable communities, the sample is restricted to areas with similar characteristics using propensity score matching. Under matching, both programs increase health seeking behavior, but there is no significant change in low birth weight. However, the household CCT program reduces preterm birth. The matching estimates suggest that the targeted household CCT program is more effective in improving birth outcomes than the broad community-based program, even though both programs improve health-seeking behavior.
The third essay analyzes the impact of the 'Midwife in the Village' program in rural Indonesia. In this essay, I extend earlier research by Frankenberg and Thomas (FT, 2001) on the effect of gaining a midwife in the village. FT find improvements in women's health status and birth weight. Using additional data, this essay estimates the longer term effect of midwife presence and the effect of losing the village midwife after the 1998 financial crisis. The effects of gaining a midwife are qualitatively similar to FT's estimates, but they are not statistically significant, which suggests that the program effects diminish over time. I find that losing a midwife has no statistically significant effect on women's health status or low birth weight. These results suggest that the program was effective in maintaining the health status of rural communities.

Full textTrade in agricultural products between Mexico and the EU only counts for a small percentage of total trade between them. With the entry into force of the EU-Mexico FTA in 2000, the tariffs on a number of agriculture commodities between the two parties was eliminated or reduced. This will lead to an opening in the trade of agricultural products between the two markets, something that could affect the welfare of the Mexican people positively, if new trade is created. The elimination and reduction of tariffs on agricultural goods could also lead to positive consumption effects as prices on these goods could be lowered. Lower prices on agricultural goods could help a large number of people, especially the poor people of Mexico.
In this thesis, using theories on preferential trade, I aim to examine the effects on the Mexican people due to the elimination of traiffs on agricultural goods between Mexico and the EU consequential to the EU-Mexico Free Trade Agreement. The investigation was carried out for the first two years after integration between the two parties, focusing on agricultural goods in particular. I also aim to determine if there is any group in the Mexican society that has benefited more in terms of welfare as a consequence of the new FTA.

Resumo: Esse trabalho compreende dois ensaios: um deles se dedica a avaliar os ganhos de bem-estar obtidos pelos agentes brasileiros durante a redução de tarifa para o setor automobilístico nos mandatos de Collor/Franco, e o outro avalia os efeitos sentidos pelas exportações brasileiras quando são mencionadas ou não em uma investigação antidumping. O primeiro é justificado com base em uma avaliação dos benefícios gerados em um breve período de atípico regime tarifário liberalizante, uma ocasião rara desde que o Brasil optou por industrializar-se via substituição de importações. O segundo ensaio se justifica por uma melhor avaliação acerca dos efeitos gerados pela utilização desse mecanismo de proteção comercial relativamente recente, e nesse caso específico, acerca dos efeitos gerados pelo uso do instrumento antidumping por terceiros contra os exportadores brasileiros no período de 1991 a 1994-07. O primeiro ensaio encontrou ganhos significativos para (consumidores + produtores) de 1991 a 1994/07, considerando uma queda nas tarifas a partir do valor em 1990 (em 2014 BRL 21,442 bilhões). No mais, também foi calculado os ganhos que poderiam ter sido gerados caso as tarifas tivesse caído para zero no mesmo período (em 2014 BRL 191,556 bilhões). No que concerne ao segundo ensaio, foi encontrado um efeito relevante sobre as exportações brasileiras quando o país é citado em uma petição, para ambos os casos em que o processo terminou com aplicação de direito definitivo e os casos terminados com aplicação de direito preliminar somente. Aquele gerou uma forte queda nos anos um e quarto após o início do processo, enquanto este gerou uma forte queda no ano um e uma forte recuperação no ano quatro. No mais, foi encontrada uma possível evidência de desvio de comércio na situação em que o Brasil não foi mencionado no processo, com as exportações brasileiras crescendo. Ainda, foi também encontrado que o setor "metais" foi o setor mais afetado em quantidade pelas investigações, e que esse também foi mais afetado pela redução das exportações brasileiras em comparação com outros setores. Palavras-chave: Análise de bem-estar. Indústria automobilística. Antidumping
Abstract: This work comprises two essays: one of them is dedicated to evaluating the welfare gains Brazilian agents obtained during the Collor/Franco reduction of tariffs for the automobile sector during their mandates, and the other one evaluates the effects Brazilian exports face when they are mentioned or not in an antidumping procedure. The former is justified on the grounds of evaluating the benefits arisen in a brief period of atypical liberalized trade regime, which has been a rare occasion since Brazil opted to industrialize via import substitution. The second one is justified by means of better assessing the effects of this relatively new trade policy, in this specific case, as to the effects of other parties’ use of the policy against Brazilian exporters in a period that spans from 1994 to 2015. The first essay found a significant gain for (consumers + producers) from 1991 to 1994/07, considering a fall in tariffs from 1990’s level of tariffs (in 2014 BRL 21.442 billion). In addition, it was calculated the gains that could have been generated if tariffs had fallen to zero in that very period(in 2014 BRL 191.556 billion). As for the second essay, it was found a relevant effect on Brazilian exports when the country is mentioned in a petition, both for the cases where the process ended with the application of definitive measures and the cases where there was the application of provisional measures. The former case generated a strong fall in years one and four after the beginning of the process, whereas the latter one generated a strong fall in year one and a strong recovery in year four. In addition, it was found a possible evidence of trade diversion in the situation where Brazil was not mentioned in the process, with Brazilian exports rising. Furthermore, it was also found that the "metals" sector was the most affected sector in the amount of cases initiated, and that its exports are more strongly affected by antidumping processes than other sectors.

Although capacity constraint seems quite common to firm operation, little researches in the field of international trade address the effects of firms with capacity constraint. This paper investigates the effects of government’s trading policies on social welfare under domestic capacity constraint. In the tariff regime, we find that a binding domestic capacity constraint results in higher equilibrium domestic market price and lower social welfare comparing to the non-binding situation. In the quota regime, we show that both of the relieving domestic capacity and releasing quota will increase social welfare. In the tariff-rate quota regime, we prove that lifting either in-quota tariff or over-quota tariff and relieving the constrained domestic capacity will reduce the social welfare. If the domestic capacity constraint is binding, the government can set higher over-quota tariff as a “rent shift” mechanism to shift back foreign producer’s excess profit. We conclude that binding domestic capacity constraint provides foreign producer opportunity to export more products and then affects domestic social welfare. Capacity constraint just plays the distortion role to manipulate the social welfare results in their purposes.

The thesis analyzes three important issues in the conduct of trade theory. Chapter 2 investigates welfare effects of liberalizing trade and investment in a service sector. Chapter 3 explores the optimal trade or intellectual property rights (IPRs) policy with endogenous entry mode and R&;D investment in the presence of bilateral R&;D spillover. Chapter 4 discusses stable formation of free trade agreements among asymmetric countries. The first model (Chapter 2) examines a foreign firm’s entry decision and its effects on the host country’s welfare in a model with a composite good in which both commodity and service generate utility for consumers. Along with the commodity that it produces, a producer can provide the service by itself or outsource the service. The result shows that the incentive for foreign direct investment (FDI) in the service sector increases under liberalizing trade in the final good market. Moreover, there exist policy combinations of trade and investment liberalization, whereby the domestic firms’ profitability is traded off with the host country’s social welfare when the foreign firm provides a service through FDI or through outsourcing respectively. Finally, the welfare in the outsourcing regime after simultaneously liberalizing trade and investment is not necessarily greater than that under autarky. The second model emploies a bilateral R&;D spillover model to analyze how a domestic country coordinates polices encompassing IPRs and trade and then investigates the optimal choices corresponding to the foreign firm’s behavior: export (EX) or FDI. The domestic government and foreign firm’s preferences are consistent in some combinations of trade and IPRs policies. Under the EX regime the domestic country should keep tariffs as high as possible, which will increase with IPRs protection. Under the FDI regime the domestic country can find an optimal IPRs policy that is different from the corner solution in some conventional results. Therefore, the strict enforecment of IPRs protection may results in a welfare reducing R&;D. The third model constructs a three-country intra-industry trade model with asymmetric cost firms to analyze the welfare effects under free trade agreements on the basis of the most-favored-nation (MFN) clause. A cost-efficient (cost-inefficient) FTA member imposes a high (low) external tariff on the same non-member country. The formation of FTAs acts as a building block toward global free trade if the difference in cost efficiency relative to market size is sufficiently low, while the other Coalition-Proof Nash Equilibria (CPNE) are FTAs among asymmetric countries. Free trade agreements among asymmetric countries {A, B}, {B, C}, and {A, C} are stable if the difference in cost efficiency is moderate; If the difference in cost efficiency is sufficiently high, free trade agreement between the cost-efficient and cost-inefficient countries {A, C} is not a CPNE.
