Abstract
AbstractThis study formulates a theoretical framework to shed light on why cash grants fail to increase parental investment in child education, and what can be done to address the issue. The paper asserts that consumption vulnerability, loss aversion, and information friction render lump‐sum cash grants ineffective. Redesigning interventions as demand‐side cost‐sharing schemes would nudge parents to buy educational materials for their children.
