DOWNLOAD EBOOKUnderstanding how the poor respond to programs, policies, and shocks in the developing world is central to the study of development economics. In this dissertation, I examine how households and communities respond to various stressors at three scales and in three different contexts. First, I examine how changes in rainfall and temperature affect household's investment in schooling for their children in Indonesia. Secondly, I examine how communities alter the distribution of aid in a large social safety net program in rural Ethiopia when communities are not given sufficient resources to implement the program as designed. Thirdly, I examine the behavioral response to the presence of researchers during the data collection process of a field evaluation of fuel-efficient cookstoves in Uganda. By examining the varied responses to stressors, these essays contribute to understanding the processes of development around the world.
