Título: "Starting off on the right foot: Impact of better elementary school"

Autores: Julio Cáceres Delpiano (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid)

Presentador: Julio Cáceres Delpiano

Abstract: Using public administrative data for Chile, we investigate the impact of enrollment in a better elementary school on series of outcomes. In order to address the non random nature of school selection, we use a discontinuity in the pool of available school that come from multiple cutoffs in minimum age requirements. Preliminary results reveal that enrollment in better school is associated, first, positively to a improvement individual educational performance. Specifically, we observe an increase in a national non-stake exam and a reduction in the likelihood of dropout. Secondly, an increase in the expectation of completing college is observed. Thirdly, the enrollment in a better elementary school is associated to a positive shift on investment measures. Finally, the evidence reveals that better elementary school is also linked to measures of college selection.
