SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Breaking into supply chains: experimental evidence on procurement training for women-owned SMEs
DESCRIPTION:Women-owned-or-led small and medium enterprises (WSMEs) are underrepresented in public and corporate supply chains worldwide. There is growing interest in promot- ing supplier diversification and SMEs’ integration into value chains\, but limited causal evidence whether interventions to support WSMEs’ participation in procurement are effective. This paper conducts a phased randomized controlled trial to estimate the impacts of corporate procurement training for WSMEs in Colombia. The program in- creases procurement knowledge and readiness\, resulting in a 10 percentage point (p.p.) increase in registrations to corporate portals and an 8 p.p. increase in the likelihood of submitting a bid. Impacts on winning bids are concentrated on WSMEs with prior pro- curement knowledge or experience\, whose probability of winning a contract increases by 8 to 9 p.p. These impacts are approximately 20% of the control means. More broadly\, the paper illustrates how complier-weighted treatment effects can be used to evaluate programs delivered through a funnel-shaped participation processes\, common in private sector development interventions.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Religion and Conflict: Evidence from China\, 1860-1911
DESCRIPTION:This paper examines the economic origins and consequences of religious conflicts during the late Qing China (1860–1911)\, when Christian missionaries entered a Confucian society. While the literature has attributed Chinese anti-missionary conflicts to the clash of cultures\, we find that the religious violence was attenuated by the level of economic complementarities\, through access to Treaty Ports and public goods provided by the missionaries. We further document negative economic spillovers of the anti-missionary conflicts\, as evidenced by the reduced foreign and domestic investments in modern industries. A key transmission mechanism was Western newspaper coverage\, which reinforced collective memory and deterred future investment. We also find long-lasting impacts on modern FDI flows and autarkic attitudes among local Chinese.
