Abstract
This document outlines the analysis plans for a cluster-randomized
evaluation of the impact of a daycare program on women’s economic
empowerment. We describe an overview of the study background, aims,
and primary hypotheses, and we describe in detail the primary and
secondary outcomes for women and children. We also describe the primary
analyses and models that we will use to evaluate our hypotheses, including
an assessment of heterogenous treatment effects. The primary analyses
will be according to intention-to-treat (ITT) but we will also estimate
the impact of daycare on women’s and children’s outcomes using two
stage least squares instrumental variable methods.
