Impact estimate of the conditional cash transfers program “Avancemos” on education

We evaluate the impact of the conditional cash transfer program 'Avancemos' on enrollment in formal secondary education among students aged 12 to 19 in Costa Rica. Using panel data from the National Household Survey from 2015 to 2018, we employed a fixed-effect regression model to eliminat...

Using panel data from the National Household Survey from 2015 to 2018, we employed a fixed-effect regression model to eliminate sources of bias related to differences in students' characteristics, that do not vary over time. We find a positive impacts of 16 percentage points on attendance. These results were robust to changes in the periods of analysis and when using a random-effect model. In addition, we found greater effects in males, rural areas, and grades 7th-9th. Additionally, the effects of Avancemos in reintegrating students are higher than in retention. These results provide evidence about the positive effects of the Avancemos program on education and underscore the opportunities that exist to increase its impacts.Evaluamos el impacto del programa de transferencias condicionadas de efectivo “Avancemos” sobre la asistencia de jóvenes entre 12 y 19 años, al sistema educativo formal de secundaria, en Costa Rica. Utilizando datos de panel de la Encuesta Nacional de Hogares de 2015 a 2018, implementamos un modelo de efectos fijos para eliminar fuentes de sesgos relacionados a diferencias en las características de los estudiantes, que no varían en el tiempo. Mediante el método de diferencias en diferencias, encontramos impactos positivos sobre la asistencia de 16 puntos porcentuales. Los resultados fueron robustos cuando se examinaron diferentes subconjuntos de años y cuando se implementó un modelo de efectos aleatorios. Encontramos efectos mayores en hombres, en zonas rurales y en el III ciclo (7-9 grado) del sistema educativo. Además, los efectos de Avancemos en reinserción son más altos que en permanencia. Estos resultados aportan evidencia acerca de los efectos positivos que el programa Avancemos tiene sobre la educación y sobre la oportunidad que existe para aumentar esos impactos.San José: Editorial Universidad de Costa Rica2024-05-15info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer Reviewed ArticleArtículo evaluado por paresartículo originalhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/epub+zipaudio/mpeghttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/economicas/article/view/5871610.15517/rce.v42i1.58716Revista de Ciencias Económicas; Vol. 42 No. 1 (2024): Revista de Ciencias Económicas: (January - June)Revista de Ciencias Económicas; Vol. 42 Núm. 1 (2024): Revista de Ciencias Económicas: (enero - junio)2215-34890252-9521reponame:Portal de Revistas UCRinstname:Universidad de Costa Ricainstacron:UCRspahttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/economicas/article/view/58716/59895https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/economicas/article/view/58716/59896https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/economicas/article/view/58716/59897Derechos de autor 2024 Alonso Venegas-Cantillano, Cristina Barrantes, Valeria Lentini, Juan Robalino, Saúl Paredes, Luis Ángel Oviedo Carballohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/cr/acceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-07-17T16:53:52Zoai:portal.ucr.ac.cr:article/58716Portal de revistashttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/Universidadhttp://www.ucr.ac.crhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/index/oaijorge.polanco@ucr.ac.crCosta RicaNo aplicaNo aplicaNo aplicaopendoar:2025-08-13T10:47:58.124Portal de Revistas UCR - Universidad de Costa Ricafalse
