众所周知，有条件的现金转移支付教育方案在提高农村贫困人口的教育成就方面是有效的。使用随机治疗的Progresa经验的面板数据，我们表明，在上学方面存在很强的国家依赖性。因此，使儿童辍学的短期冲击将对他们的教育成就产生长期影响。我们发现，特质和协变量冲击确实促使父母让孩子辍学，并使用童工作为风险应对工具。然而，有条件现金援助有助于保护儿童免受这些冲击，从这些方案中创造了额外的好处，作为具有长期效益的有效安全网。
Conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs for education are known to be effective in increasing educational achievements among the rural poor. Using panel data from the Progresa experience with randomized treatment, we show that there is strong state dependence in school attendance. Short term shocks that take children out of school will consequently have long term consequences on their educational achievements. We show that idiosyncratic and covariate shocks do indeed push parents to take children out of school and to use child labor as risk coping instruments. However, CCT help protect children from these shocks, creating an additional benefit from these programs as effective safety nets with long term benefits.
