This page lists research projects that are being developed by IPA and others. Our goal is to document active studies taking place on COVID-19’s socio-economic impacts—and results, as they come in—in order to inform researchers and decision-makers working to mitigate the crisis. As this is a public good, the hub contains both IPA and non-IPA studies. Inclusion criteria for the hub can be found here, and new projects and questionnaires can be submitted here.

<p>Little is known about the effects of large cash transfers in contexts of protracted displacement.This includes the influence of cash transfers on health behaviors during shocks such as the COVID-19 pandemic.IDinsight plans to develop evidence in this area by building on an on-going impact evaluation of GiveDirectly’s unconditional cash transfer program in Kiryandongo refugee settlement, Uganda.The team is gathering data on the COVID-19 public health measures that refugee households are implementing, the health services they are able to access, and their understanding of COVID-19 and preventative measures.</p>

The Role of Behavioral Biases in Influencing Individuals’ Demand for Social Distancing

<p>This project examines the economic determinants for social distancing in the context of COVID-19.Previous economics studies document the important role behavioral biases could play in inter-temporal decision-making.Viewing health in an inter-temporal framework, individuals make health investment decisions in the present to maximize their lifetime utility.Behavioral biases, however, could influence the optimal demand for preventive healthcare and in particular their demand for social distancing.</p>

COVID-19-Related Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices in Rural Indigenous Communities in Mexico

<p>Indigenous communities are often socially and economically marginalized which makes them particularly vulnerable to the impact of COVID-19.The Population Council has a longstanding partnership with indigenous communities in Mexico through the "Abriendo Futuros" program.To understand the knowledge, perspectives, and needs related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Council will conduct online and phone-based knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) surveys with adolescents (14–17 years), adults (18+), and community authorities in the states of Chiapas and Yucatán, where local organizations are working.Each survey will last between 20–25 minutes.</p>
