Improving Educational Outcomes in Developing Countries: Lessons from Rigorous Evaluations (2014, background): “graduation and college performance in Colombia (Angrist et al., 2006) have highlighted”
Improving Education in Developing Countries (2016, background): “Angrist, Bettinger, and Kremer (2006) found that the voucher offer increased the probability that youths from low-income families graduated from secondary school by 6 to 7 percentage points, and it improved their performance on college entrance exams.”
Behavioral Economics of Education (2015, background): “Firstly, they conclude from the surveyed articles that incentives work well in increasing attendance and enrollment (e.g., Angrist et al., 2006; Behrman et al., 2005).”
When and Why Incentives (Don't) Work to Modify Behavior (2011, unknown): “In particular, most incentives are relatively large, with the goal of ensuring the price effect is larger than a potential negative crowding-out effect.”
A Professor Like Me: The Influence of Instructor Gender on College Achievement (2009, unknown): “We also tried using non-parametric bounds suggested by Angrist et al. (2006).”
Field experiments in labor economics (2010, background): “…empirical studies find somewhat mixed evidence on these educational policies.32 For example, non-experimental studies, natural experiments and field experiments finding that vouchers improve educational achievement include Peterson et al. (2003), Kruger and Zhu (2004), Angrist et al. (2002, 2006).”
The Behavioralist Goes to School: Leveraging Behavioral Economics to Improve Educational Performance. NBER Working Paper No. 18165. (2012, unknown): “Other programs have based rewards on overall school performance (see Angrist et al. 2006, Fryer 2011, Levitt et al. 2010, Leuven et al. 2010).”
The Role and Impact of Public-Private Partnerships in Education (2009, background): “The majority of cities and towns allocated vouchers through a lottery when demand exceeded supply, which enabled Angrist et al. (2002); Angrist, Bettinger, and Kremer (2006); and Bettinger, Kremer, and Saavedra (2008) to evaluate the program using randomization techniques.”
Improving the Design of Conditional Transfer Programs: Evidence from a Randomized Education Experiment in Colombia † (2011, background): “This process is described in Angrist et al. (2002). 10 One potential concern with random assignment at the child level is that the treatment may spillover between children through peer networks.”
The Impact of School Choice on Pupil Achievement, Segregation and Costs: Swedish Evidence (2007, unknown): “2 Examples of such work are: Angrist et al. (2002, 2006) evaluating a private secondary school voucher experiment in Columbia; Rouse's (1998) work on the Milwaukee school voucher initiative; the work by Peterson et al (2002) on voucher initiatives in several US cities; see also Krueger and Zhu…”
The Big Sort: College Reputation and Labor Market Outcomes (2017, unknown): “11 Angrist et al. (2006) and our personal communications with the Colombian Institute for Educational Evaluation suggest that more than 90 percent of high school seniors take the exam.”
