本文探讨了学校早餐计划(SBP)对认知成绩的影响。SBP是一个联邦权利计划,为任何学生提供早餐,包括为参加该计划的学校的任何低收入学生提供免费早餐。为了增加SBP的可用性,许多州要求学校参加该计划,如果学校中免费或减价合格学生的百分比超过特定阈值。使用这些任务的细节作为识别变化的来源,我发现,该计划的可用性增加学生的成绩。(C)2014爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
This paper investigates the impact of the School Breakfast Program (SBP) on cognitive achievement. The SBP is a federal entitlement program that offers breakfast to any student, including free breakfast for any low-income student, who attends a school that participates in the program. To increase the availability of the SBP, many states mandate that schools participate in the program if the percent of free or reduced-price eligible students in a school exceeds a specific threshold. Using the details of these mandates as a source of identifying variation, I find that the availability of the program increases student achievement. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
