ABSTRACT

We estimate the impact on education outcomes of the Universal Child Allowance (AUH), a conditional cash transfer programme launched in Argentina in 2009. Evidence from previous works suggests a significant positive impact on attendance rates at the beginning of the school year. In this paper we contribute over and above those previous findings by addressing the effects on other education outcomes. Based on a difference-in-difference analysis, we find that the AUH may be held responsible for significant improvements on intra-year dropout rates and primary school completion rates, while the analysis highlights heterogeneous effects across age groups and gender.

有条件现金转移计划对阿根廷上学以外的教育成果的影响

摘要

我们估计2009年在阿根廷启动的有条件现金转移计划通用儿童津贴（AUH）对教育成果的影响。以前的工作证据表明，学年开始时对出勤率有显着的积极影响。在本文中，我们通过解决对其他教育成果的影响，为先前的发现做出了贡献。基于差异分析，我们发现AUH可能对年内辍学率和小学毕业率的显着提高负责，而该分析则凸显了不同年龄段和性别的异质性影响。
