In the context of the centralized school assignment system in Mexico City, this study analyzes how a large household income shock affects choices over high school tracks exploiting the discontinuity in the assignment of the welfare program Oportunidades.

The findings suggest that the transfer relaxes the financial constraints that prevent relatively low-ability students from choosing the schooling option with higher labor market returns. 2015-11-04T22:45:19Z 2015-11-04T22:45:19Z 2015-09 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2015/09/25094718/high-school-track-choice-financial-constraints-evidence-urban-mexico http://hdl.handle.net/10986/22850 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 7427 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Publications & Research Mexico
