Abhijit Banerjee
Financial support for this project came from the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade through a grant to JPAL at MIT and KOICA.
BPJS Kesehatan provided in-kind support for the project through sharing anonymized data for analysis purposes.
The Abdul Latif Poverty Action Lab at MIT, of which Banerjee is a Director, received a grant from the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (also known as Australian Aid) to support our work on randomized experiments in Indonesia, including this project. However, Banerjee did not receive any salary support directly from that grant. Neither the Indonesian Government, TNP2K, nor the Australian Government had the right of prior review over this paper. However, they were provided with a copy of the paper prior to submission as a courtesy.
