本文提出了一个更新的成本效益分析的高/范围佩里学前教育计划，使用40岁的个人数据。儿童被随机分配到治疗组或对照组。方案成本与治疗对教育资源、收入、犯罪活动和福利收入的影响进行了比较。净现值是为参与者、公众和社会计算的。治疗组获得了明显更高的收入。对于普通公众来说，更高的税收收入、更低的刑事司法系统支出和更低的福利支出很容易超过项目成本;他们每投资1美元就能偿还12.90美元。然而，方案的收益主要来自男性犯罪的减少。
This paper presents an updated cost-benefit analysis of the High/Scope Perry preschool Program, using data on individuals aged 40. Children were randomly assigned to a treatment or control group. Program costs are compared against treatment impacts on educational resources, earnings, criminal activity and welfare receipt. Net present values are calculated for participants, the general public, and society. The treatment group obtains significantly higher earnings. For the general public, higher tax revenues, lower criminal justice system expenditures, and lower welfare payments easily outweigh program costs; they repay $12.90 for every $1 invested. However program gains come mainly from reduced crime by males.
