This study considers how child time allocation in Ecuador responds to receipt of the Bono de Desarrollo Humano (BDH) cash transfer. The evaluation of the BDH randomly assigned eligibility for the cash transfer to some poor households and not to others. The BDH transfer is $15 per household per month, 7 percent of monthly expenditures for recipient households. The amount does not vary across eligible families. The transfer is paid to mothers, and does not have any conditions attached. We use the random assignment from the evaluation of the BDH as our source of variation in economic status.
