DevelopmentIntra-Household Preference AsymmetryBaseline survey data demonstrates that migrants favor long-term investment (education, housing) while beneficiaries favor immediate consumption; unmonitored preference asymmetry reduces baseline remittances (averaging 1,311 AED per month) below potential capacity.RCTDevelopmentIndependence of Youth Opportunity Effects from Maternal Bargaining PowerThe recruiting treatment had no statistically significant impact on women's decision-making participation (-0.071, p > 0.10) or autonomy index (+0.112, p > 0.10), proving youth human capital and family formation gains operate independently of adult female bargaining power.RCTDevelopmentMitigation of Son Preference in Early Childhood Intrahousehold AllocationThe treatment increased girls' BMI-for-age z-score by 0.24 standard deviations (p < 0.01), whereas boys' BMI-for-age z-score showed no significant change (0.08 standard deviations, p > 0.10), significantly narrowing the intrahousehold nutritional gap.RCT
