我们使用两个不同的数据集和三个不同的工具来评估长期建立的学龄前托儿所计划对儿童营养状况的影响。我们使用与成本(费用、到托儿所的距离)和方案可获得性(方案在城镇的容量)相关的变量作为工具。我们的一个数据集代表了生活在哥伦比亚农村地区的非常贫困的个人，而另一个数据集中在城市地区，包括相对较不贫穷的个人。我们发现，项目参与增加了儿童的身高，影响的大小在三个工具和两个数据集上是一致的。
We use two different data sets and three different instruments to estimate the impact of a long‐established pre‐school nursery programme on children’s nutritional status. We use variables related to cost (fee, distance to the nursery) and programme availability (capacity of the programme in the town) as instruments. One of our data sets is representative of very poor individuals living in rural areas of Colombia, while the other focuses in urban areas and includes individuals relatively less poor. We find that programme participation increases children’s height, with the size of the effect being consistent across the three instruments and the two data sets.
