Schooling responses to income changes: Evidence from unconditional cash transfers in Rwanda
This paper explores the short and medium term impacts of unconditional cash transfers on school-related choices for children of beneficiary households in Rwanda. We draw on an independent evaluation of the Concern Worldwide Graduation Programme, which supported beneficiaries with monthly cash transfers and livelihood training. Our study finds that the programme enabled poor households to overcome income constraints and, consequently, allowed them to make investments in education. However, since school attendance already exceeded 80 percent at baseline due to the government’s focus on universal access to basic education, the programme was unable to induce additional educational access. Thus, for children who remain out of school, income effects and policy efforts were found to be ineffective.The research on which this paper is based was commissioned by Concern Worldwid
A multi-scale study of infrared and radio emission from Scd galaxy M33
We investigate the energy sources of the infrared (IR) emission and their
relation to the radio continuum emission at various spatial scales within the
Scd galaxy M33. We use the wavelet transform to analyze IR data at the Spitzer
wavelengths of 24, 70, and 160m, as well as recent radio continuum data at
3.6cm and 20cm. An H map serves as a tracer of the star forming regions
and as an indicator of the thermal radio emission. We find that the dominant
scale of the 70m emission is larger than that of the 24m emission,
while the 160m emission shows a smooth wavelet spectrum. The radio and
H maps are well correlated with all 3 MIPS maps, although their
correlations with the 160m map are weaker. After subtracting the bright
HII regions, the 24 and 70m maps show weaker correlations with the 20cm
map than with the 3.6cm map at most scales. We also find a strong correlation
between the 3.6cm and H emission at all scales. Comparing the results
with and without the bright HII regions, we conclude that the IR emission is
influenced by young, massive stars increasingly with decreasing wavelength from
160 to 24m. The radio-IR correlations indicate that the warm dust-thermal
radio correlation is stronger than the cold dust-nonthermal radio correlation
at scales smaller than 4kpc. A perfect 3.6cm-H correlation implies that
extinction has no significant effect on H emitting structures.Comment: 15 pages, 10 figures, accepted for publication in the Astronomy and

Accomplice, patron, go-between? A role to play with poor migrant Qur’anic students in northern Nigeria
What does it mean to conduct ethnographic research in a context where inequalities are pervasive? Drawing on experiences conducting research with poor migrant Qur’anic students (almajirai) in Kano, northern Nigeria, this article explores the challenges of establishing productive and ethical research relationships with informants whose social and socioeconomic status is significantly lower than that of the researcher. The article argues that large socioeconomic and educational inequalities demand a rethinking of the subject positions available to researchers in such contexts. In the article, I consider in turn my roles as an ‘accomplice’ of exclusionary elite behaviour, as a ‘patron’ for my informants, and as a ‘go-between’ facilitating access for them to otherwise inaccessible ‘social microworlds’
