The paper evaluates the impact of these cash transfers on the educational expenditures for children within a household. The analysis finds positive and significant effects of the program at the aggregate level. It also finds that the program has stronger effects in indigenous populations and among female and rural populations. The results are robust with respect to a series of falsification tests, survey structures, model specifications, and estimation methods. 2017-09-21T16:15:37Z 2017-09-21T16:15:37Z 2017-08 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/881741504013158445/Will-elders-provide-for-their-grandchildren-unconditional-cash-transfers-and-educational-expenditures-in-Bolivia http://hdl.handle.net/10986/28351 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 8176 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Latin America & Caribbean Bolivia
