Can reparations for victims of human rights violations help rebuild lives? We estimate the effects of reparations across the life cycle, leveraging variation induced by Colombia’s program for victims of the internal armed conflict. The reparations consist of large, one-off, lump-sum payments of up to 10,000 USD (PPP 26,000 USD) and represent, on average, three times recipients’ annual household income. We link comprehensive national administrative panel microdata and measure numerous individualand household-level outcomes, includingwork and living standards, health care utilization, and intergenerational impacts on victims’ children. We exploit the staggered rollout of reparation payouts and the unexpected timing of their receipt using event study approaches and document three main sets of results. First, reparations cause an immediate decrease in the probability of formal employment driven by shifts out of low-pay, high-risk, salaried jobs. Three years after receipt, victims have higher wages and are more likely to own an active business. Second, reparations cause an economically meaningful decrease in health care utilization, consistent with improved health due to better working and living conditions. Third, reparations increase high school test scores and college attendance rates of victims’ children. We conclude that the large transfers of money provided by reparations allow households to make fundamental investments, narrow the gaps formed due to conflict, and appear to be an effective policy tool to promote recovery and development.

对侵犯人权行为受害者的赔偿是否有助于重建生活?我们估计了整个生命周期的赔偿影响,利用哥伦比亚对内部武装冲突受害者的方案所引起的变化。这些赔偿金包括大额、一次性、一次性支付,最高可达10,000美元(购买力平价为26,000美元),平均相当于受援者家庭年收入的三倍。我们将全面的国家行政小组微观数据联系起来,并衡量了许多个人和家庭层面的结果,包括工作和生活水平、医疗保健利用以及对受害者儿童的代际影响。我们利用事件研究方法,利用赔偿金的交错发放和意外的收款时间,并记录了三组主要结果。首先,赔偿导致正式就业的可能性立即下降,这是由低薪、高风险、带薪工作的转移所驱动的。收到救济三年后,受害者的工资更高,而且更有可能拥有一家活跃的企业。第二,赔偿使医疗保健的利用在经济上有意义地减少,这与工作和生活条件改善所带来的健康改善相一致。第三,赔偿提高了受害者子女的高中考试成绩和大学出勤率。我们的结论是,由赔偿提供的大笔资金转移使家庭能够进行基本投资,缩小因冲突而形成的差距,并且似乎是促进复苏和发展的有效政策工具。JEL: H31, H50, I2, I38, D74 *。通讯作者:Arlen Guarin,美国加州大学伯克利分校经济学博士研究生,aguariga@berkeley.edu。朱莉安娜Londoño-Vélez,加州大学洛杉矶分校经济学助理教授,美国国家经济研究局研究员,j.londonovelez@econ.ucla.edu。克里斯蒂安·波索,República哥伦比亚中央银行研究员,cpossosu@banrep.gov.co。我们非常感谢Emmanuel Saez, Edward A.
