Cash Transfers for Inclusive Societies sheds light on the widely prevalent cash transfer programs. The book asks these central questions: What is the state of the art in the development of welfare programs? What do we know works in these programs and what does not? How can an understanding of behavioral science better inform the design, delivery, and evaluation of welfare programs? The latest title in the Behaviorally Informed Organizations series, the book develops a nuanced framework for how governments, practitioners, and society in general should design cash transfer programs to improve inclusivity, reduce poverty, and improve equality. It draws on field experiments and case studies to showcase past successes, while also building frameworks and developing prescriptive advice that we can give to practitioners who are looking to design a behaviorally informed cash transfer program. With contributions from leading academics as well as seasoned practitioners, Cash Transfers for Inclusive Societies presents a new model to policymakers to study and shift the discourse on poverty alleviation from purely economic factors to also behavioral ones."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Economic assistance, Domestic. 650 0 $a Economic assistance, Domestic $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Income maintenance programs $x Evaluation. 650 0 $a Transfer payments. 700 1 $a Zhao, Jiaying $c (Lecturer in psychology), $e editor. 700 1 $a Datta, Saugato, $e editor. 700 1 $a Soman, Dilip, $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Cash transfers for inclusive societies. $d Toronto ; Buffalo ; London : University of Toronto Press, 2023 $z 9781487549473 $z 9781487549473 $w (OCoLC)1378782968 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240717030840.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=708DB614440211EF98CC15ED37ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
