Abstract

This paper analyzes the impact of comprehensive and universal early childhood development programs on educational outcomes during middle childhood. I exploit the birth eligibility cutoff of a pioneer intervention of this type in Chile and use administrative data on grade point averages and standardized test scores. Program exposure raises standardized math scores by 1.8% of a standard deviation, standardized reading scores by 4.0% of a standard deviation, and grade point averages by 0.03% of a standard deviation. I find that socioeconomically vulnerable children benefit less from program exposure. The educational marginal value of public funds indicates that the program is beneficial overall and pays for itself.

儿童早期综合干预措施的中期教育影响：来自智利先驱计划的证据

摘要本文分析了全面普及的儿童早期发展计划对儿童中期教育成果的影响。我利用了智利一项先驱性干预措施的出生资格分界线，并使用了平均学分绩点和标准化考试成绩的行政数据。接触该计划后，标准化数学成绩提高了 1.8% 的标准差，标准化阅读成绩提高了 4.0% 的标准差，平均学分绩点提高了 0.03% 的标准差。我发现，社会经济弱势儿童从项目中受益较少。公共资金的教育边际价值表明，该计划总体上是有益的，是物有所值的。
