The article discusses the effects of Brazil's conditional cash-transfer scheme called Bolsa Bolsa Família. A trio of papers revealed the spillovers of enforcing conditionality for the public welfare scheme which covers the country's 14 million households. The papers examined the behavior of recipients of the scheme and the impact of penalties imposed on parents who failed to meet the scheme's requirements.
