Abstract

We use a randomized experiment (across 200 public primary schools in Puebla, Mexico) to study the impact of providing schools with cash grants on student test scores. Treated schools received on average $$ \sim $$ 16 USD per student each year for two years, an increase of $$ \sim $$ 20% in public spending per child, after teacher salaries. Overall, the grants had no impact on student test scores. Lack of a treatment effect does not seem to be driven by poor implementation or a substitution away from other inputs (e.g. household expenditure).

学校补助金对考试成绩的影响:墨西哥的实验证据
我们利用随机实验(墨西哥普埃布拉州 200 所公立小学)研究了向学校提供现金补助对学生考试成绩的影响。在两年的时间里,接受补助的学校平均每年每名学生获得 16 美元,除去教师工资,每名儿童的公共开支增加了 20%。总体而言,补助金对学生考试成绩没有影响。缺乏治疗效果似乎并不是因为执行不力或替代了其他投入(如家庭支出)。
