| description |
In 1999 the city of Bogota, Colombia
launched the concession school program designed to broaden
the coverage and quality of basic education. It consists of
a contract between a group of private schools and the public
educational system such that private agents provide
education for low-income students. This paper tests three
main hypotheses concerning the impact of concessions on the
quality of education: first, dropout rates are lower in
concession schools than in similar public schools; second,
other public schools nearby the concession schools have
lower dropout rates in comparison with other public schools
outside the area of influence; and third, test scores from
concession schools are higher than scores in similar public
schools. The paper presents evidence in favor of the three
hypotheses using propensity score and matching estimators. |
