Political Responses of Conditional Income Transfer Recipients: A Mechanism Approach

Research output: Chapter in Book/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter applies a causal mechanism approach to study political responses to conditional income transfer receipt in Latin America. This approach has the advantage of opening up the ‘black box’ common in studies correlating transfer receipt and political outputs and extending the analysis to include outcomes. A review of the existing literature identified three main causal mechanisms linking transfers and political inclusion. Analysis of LAPOP data 2010-2019 helped assess their relevance. The main findings show that mechanisms linking transfer receipt to preferences for redistribution and support for the political system are consistent with these data.
