Resumen
Abstract
We use data from Chile's conditional voucher program to test the e ects of vouchers
on academic achievement. Conditional vouchers have delivered extra resources
to low-income, vulnerable students since 2008. Moreover, under this scheme, additional
resources are contingent on the completion of speci c scholastic goals. Using a
di erence-in-di erences approach, we nd a positive and signi cant e ect of vouchers
on standardized test scores. Additionally, our results highlight the importance of
conditioning the delivery of resources to some speci c academic goals when frictions
exist in the education market.
