DESCRIPTION:*Do fertility plans influence marriage? Children can be part of
  the marital capital that individuals seek to maximise when they marry. We 
 use variations in policy implementation of the One-Child Policy in China an
 d its relaxation to capture the effect of the possible number of children o
 n marriage. We find that men who benefit more from the relaxation as they g
 ain the right to have a second child are more likely to get married after t
 he end of the One-Child Policy. We argue that this is because due to a skew
 ed sex ratio\, some men are unable to find a spouse. When given a choice\, 
 women choose the spouse who can bring them the most children. The effect is
  concentrated among less educated men. Investigating the effect on who marr
 ies whom\, we find that while treated men are more likely to get married th
 ey marry less educated women.**In pursuit of food security\, several govern
 ments in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) have recently turned to policies that sti
 mulate the domestic production of a critical agricultural input – mineral
  fertiliser – while simultaneously raising trade barriers that discourage
  imports of these inputs. Yet it is unclear whether such import substitutio
 n policies achieve their intended goal of expanding access to fertilisers b
 ecause of the presence of domestic trade frictions that separate farms from
  markets. With internal trading frictions\, reductions of production costs 
 at the factory gate may not automatically translate to increased adoption r
 ates and improved crop yields among smallholder farms in remote regions. To
  shed light on these effects\, this paper examines an industrial policy in 
 Nigeria that led to the entry of 22 large-scale fertiliser manufacturing an
 d processing facilities between 2015 and 2019. Using household panel survey
 s and geocoded data on plant locations\, I measure the regional effects of 
 plant entry on patterns of fertiliser retail prices\, adoption rates\, and 
 crop yields. I take advantage of the fact that farm-households were differe
 ntially exposed to plant entry based on the transport costs they face\, as 
 well as regional variation in the geological conditions that permit fer
 tiliser production. Preliminary findings suggest that farms further away fr
 om factories face higher retail prices\, use less fertiliser and have lower
  crop yields. To rationalise these findings\, I intend to develop a quantit
 ative model of economic geography that takes into account input choices and
  the spatial heterogeneity of smallholder agriculture.\\n\\nContact: Camill
