The impact of a school meal program on student’s cognitive development: Evidence from Ecuador

This paper evaluates, for the first time, the impact of the School Meal Program (PAE) on the scores of the Ser Bachiller test for the period 2015-2019, in Ecuador. For this, a difference-in-differences (DiD) meth­od is used in combination with propensity score matching (PSM). First, matching with st...

description This paper evaluates, for the first time, the impact of the School Meal Program (PAE) on the scores of the Ser Bachiller test for the period 2015-2019, in Ecuador. For this, a difference-in-differences (DiD) meth­od is used in combination with propensity score matching (PSM). First, matching with student-level information is used to compare individuals who receive the treatment with those who do not. This is done by means of the nearest neighbor criterion and inverse probability weighting. Finally, the average grades are calculated at the level of Educational Units, and DiD procedure is performed at the level of Educational Units in the study period, obtaining evidence that there is a positive impact of the PAE on the grades of beneficiary students.

Para esto, se utiliza un método de diferencias en diferencias (DiD) en combinación con un emparejamiento por puntaje de propensión (PSM). Primero, se utiliza el emparejamiento con la información a nivel de estudiantes para comparar a los individuos que reciben el tratamiento con aquellos que no lo reciben. Esto se realiza por medio del criterio vecinos cercanos y ponderación de probabilidad inversa. Finalmente, se calcula el promedio de calificaciones a nivel de unidades educativas y se realiza el procedimiento de DiD a nivel de unidades educativas en el periodo de estudio, obteniendo evidencia de que existe un impacto positivo del PAE en las calificaciones de los estudiantes beneficiariosBanco Central del Ecuador2023-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtículos de Investigaciónapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://estudioseconomicos.bce.fin.ec/index.php/RevistaCE/article/view/41410.47550/RCE/33.1.2Cuestiones Económicas; Vol. 33 Núm. 1 (2023): Revista Cuestiones Económicas2697-33672697-3367reponame:Revista Cuestiones Económicasinstname:Banco Central del Ecuadorinstacron:BCEspahttps://estudioseconomicos.bce.fin.ec/index.php/RevistaCE/article/view/414/331https://estudioseconomicos.bce.fin.ec/index.php/RevistaCE/article/view/414/338Derechos de autor 2023 Cuestiones Económicashttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-09-14T15:53:06Zoai:estudioseconomicos.bce.fin.ec:article/414Portal de revistashttps://estudioseconomicos.bce.fin.ec/index.php/RevistaCEOrganismo de gobiernowww.bce.fin.echttps://estudioseconomicos.bce.fin.ec/index.php/RevistaCE/oaiEcuadoropendoar:2023-09-14T15:53:06falsePortal de revistashttps://estudioseconomicos.bce.fin.ec/index.php/RevistaCEOrganismo de gobiernowww.bce.fin.echttps://estudioseconomicos.bce.fin.ec/index.php/RevistaCE/oaiEcuadoropendoar:2023-09-14T15:53:06Revista Cuestiones Económicas - Banco Central del Ecuadorfalse
