Abstract
In 2013, Mississippi ranked 49th in fourth grade reading achievement on the National Assessment of Education Progress. By 2019, the state ranked 29th. I study whether Mississippi’s 2013 Literacy-Based Promotion Act (LBPA), a multi-faceted strategy for improving K-3 literacy, played a part in this ascension. Using a synthetic difference-in-differences approach, I estimate that the LBPA meaningfully improved grade 4 reading and math test scores on the national assessment.

Economics of Education Review publishes research on education policy and finance, human capital production and acquisition, and the returns to human capital. We accept empirical, methodological and theoretical contributions, but the main focus of Economics of Education Review is on applied studies that employ micro data and clear identification strategies.
