Delivering Education to the Underserved through a Public-Private Partnership Program in Pakistan
评估了巴基斯坦信德省200个村庄通过招募当地企业家开办新学校的项目，发现入学率提高32个百分点，考试成绩提高0.63个标准差，且不同补贴方案效果无差异。
Abstract We evaluate a program that recruited local entrepreneurs to open and operate new schools in 200 underserved villages in Sindh, Pakistan. School operators received a per student subsidy to provide tuition-free primary education, and half the villages received a higher subsidy for females. The program increased enrollment by 32 percentage points and test scores by 0.63 standard deviations, with no difference across the two subsidy schemes. Estimating a structural model of the demand and supply for school inputs, we find that program schools selected inputs similar to those of a social planner who internalizes all the education benefits to society.
