Paper by doctoral scholar Deepti Sharma and Prof. Arnab Mukherji wins Best Paper Award under Healthcare Management track at IIM Trichy-hosted Sixth Biennial Indian Academy of Management Conference 2020

06 January, 2020, Bengaluru: A paper titled, ‘Does access to sanitation improve the diarrheal incidences amongst children?’, co-authored by Professor Arnab Mukherji, IIM Bangalore faculty from the Public Policy area, and Deepti Sharma, doctoral scholar (first year) of the Public Policy and Systems area at IIMB, has won the Best Paper Award under the Healthcare Management track, at the Sixth Biennial Indian Academy of Management (INDAM) Conference 2020, conducted by IIM Tiruchirappalli from January 02 to 04, 2020.

From the policy perspective, it is crucial to know the effectiveness of the sanitation coverage in the country even after several years of growth and development. The paper studies and quantifies the effects of such public expenditure in India using the District Level Health Survey - 4. The study findings conducted at rural India level shows that, access to improved sanitation (as defined by UNICEF) leads to reduction of diarrheal risk amongst children (below five years of age) by 0.7 percentage points. These initial observations of the study reveal that there is a positive causal relationship between improved sanitation and reduction in diarrhoea in rural parts of India, and that tailored policies are required to mitigate the risk of diarrhoea in rural areas of the country. 

Dr. Arnab Mukherji is an applied micro-economist with interest in health and governance. His recent work on health has been in the context of understanding how government-financed health schemes reduce mortality and provide financial protection to the poor. He teaches health economics, development economics, applied econometrics and public policy analysis at IIMB.
