学术午餐会（Brown Bag）指研究学者利用午餐时间进行学术演讲和交流，是欧美国家盛行的一种学术交流形式。Brown bag（棕色袋子）代表参与者自带或者主办方提供的午餐，由于美国午餐盒饭多半都装在棕色纸袋里而得名。

浙大卡特资源环境与农业发展研究团队(READ)联合浙江大学公共管理学院农业与农村发展智能计算实验室(ARDIC)，以“午餐会”的形式举办学术研讨会，期间会为报名参会的师生提供丰盛美味的“午餐”，旨在为师生提供轻松愉快的环境进行亲切、平等的对话，营造良好的校园学术氛围。

Public WASH Programs, Child Development, and Intergenerational Mobility in Rural China

Using individual-level longitudinal data from 1989 to 2015, we examine the long-run effects of nationwide water plant construction and household-level toilet subsidy programs in rural China on children’s education and health. We exploit the differential timing of these programs across rural villages and use a dynamic Difference-in-Differences strategy to estimate their long-run effects. We find that each program independently increased years of schooling up to 20 years after its implementation. Effects on education are larger for toilet subsidy programs than for water improvement programs. On average, toilet (water) improvement increases 0.469 (0.341) years of schooling and the effects are larger for girls than for boys. We find evidence of positive complementarities between the two programs: their simultaneous introduction increased years of schooling by 0.739 years. Investigating underlying mechanisms, we find that toilet programs allowed adults to reallocate their time from farms and to increase working hours. This affected children’s time use by crowding out child work. Water programs had limited labor reallocation effects, but improved child health. We then investigate how both programs affected intergenerational education persistence. The toilet program significantly reduced maternal-child education persistence, while improving the upward education mobility of exposed children. Our findings suggest that improving household sanitation has larger educational benefits than expanding access to safe drinking water and that public WASH programs can be effective at reducing intergenerational inequality in socioeconomic outcomes.
