DESCRIPTION:*This paper investigates the impact of a unique coercive male s
 terilization program in India on fertility and violence. This 10-month prog
 ram launched in April 1976 targeted mostly husbands with more than 2 childr
 en and was heterogeneously implemented throughout India. Using difference-i
 n-differences strategies with a geographical variation in coercion intensit
 y across districts\, we find that an increase of 1 percentage point in expo
 sure to this program led to (i) a small positive impact on fertility\, (ii)
  an increase in violent crime rates by 2% persistent until 2003. This effec
 t is driven by rapes and murders\, which increase respectively by 5% and 1%
 . We explore different mechanisms and we see that the increase in fertility
  is primarily led by couples who didn't have a son before 1976. Using the N
 ational Family Health Survey of 1999\, we also find that districts with hig
 h coercion intensity correlate with higher levels of Intimate Partner Viole
 nce (IPV)\, acceptance of IPV\, lower bargaining power of women and lower c
 ontraception adoption.**I develop a model to explore the interplay between 
 formal insurance and informal risk-sharing networks. Agents face idiosyncra
 tic shocks\, which they mitigate by establishing risk-sharing links and opt
 ing for formal insurance. When forming a link\, agents consider the sum of 
 their utilities. My findings indicate that below the actuarial price\, form
 al insurance eliminates the need for informal networks\, leading to an empt
 y network as the unique stable state. Above the actuarial price but still l
 ow\, specific price thresholds shape stable networks’ structure. Importan
 tly\, I find that the size of the largest component in a risk-sharing netwo
 rk can be greater when insurance is priced above the actuarial price level 
 but is still low\, compared to a no-insurance scenario.\\n\\nContact: Lucie
