Thesis (Ph.D.)--Columbia University, 2007.

During the last decade there has been an expansion of conditional cash transfers in developing countries as a way to increase school enrollment and deter children from dropping out of school. There is evidence that these programs have a positive impact on school enrollment and attendance. However, little is known about their impact on school achievement or about how their effects may change based on school quality and the social environment.

520 $a During the last decade there has been an expansion of conditional cash transfers in developing countries as a way to increase school enrollment and deter children from dropping out of school. There is evidence that these programs have a positive impact on school enrollment and attendance. However, little is known about their impact on school achievement or about how their effects may change based on school quality and the social environment.
520 $a This dissertation uses data from the Colombian conditional cash transfers program Familias en Accion to investigate the following questions: (1) What is the effect of Familias en Accion on school achievement? (2) What are the possible mechanisms through which income transfers affect children's achievement? (3) What is the association between social capital and school outcomes; and (4) Do school and community social capital magnify the effect of conditional cash transfers on school enrollment and achievement?
520 $a The study finds that Familias en Accion is having a positive effect on school achievement for young children living in rural areas, and practically no effect on young children living in urban areas. At the same time, the results suggest that the program may actually have a negative effect on adolescent's school achievement, particularly those living in rural areas.
520 $a The study also finds that the relationship between social capital and school outcomes is different in urban than in rural areas, reinforcing traditional behavior in rural areas and reinforcing more modern behavior (i.e. school attendance) in urban areas. With respect to the interaction between social capital and Familias en Accion, the study finds that rural political organizations are not contributing to the production of positive outcomes of the program. However, this is "compensated" by a positive role of communitarian organizations in rural areas, which are contributing to reinforce the effects of the program. In urban areas, both communitarian and political organizations are playing a positive (although small) role in the implementation of the program in terms of enrollment and dropout effects.
