本文通过实验分析了巴西城市贫困家庭的入学决策。我们让家长在以他们的青少年子女上学为条件的每月政府转移支付和有保证的、无条件的不同规模的转移支付之间做出选择。在基线治疗中,绝大多数父母更喜欢有条件的转移,而不是更大的无条件转移。然而,很少有家长喜欢有条件的付款,如果他们提供短信通知,每当他们的孩子错过学校。这些研究结果表明,在这些学校的决定,缺乏家长的控制和可观察性的学校出勤率,以及有条件的现金转移支付计划,他们提供的监测的另一个理由重要的代际冲突。
This paper experimentally analyzes the schooling decisions of poor households in urban Brazil. We elicit parents’ choices between monthly government transfers conditional on their adolescent child attending school and guaranteed, unconditional transfers of varying sizes. In the baseline treatment, an overwhelming majority of parents prefer conditional transfers to larger unconditional transfers. However, few parents prefer conditional payments if they are offered text message notifications whenever their child misses school. These findings suggest important intergenerational conflicts in these schooling decisions, a lack of parental control and observability of school attendance, and an additional rationale for conditional cash transfer programs—the monitoring they provide.
