Resumo: | Essay 1 - Public Childcare, Child Development and Labor Market Outcomes: Experimental Evidence from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This paper describes the short and medium term impacts of free public childcare provision in Rio de Janeiro using a lottery that allocated access to the program in 2008. Lottery winners had large gains in anthropometrics measures which persisted throughout time. They also had higher scores in cognitive function tests, which had faded out 7 years after the lottery took place. The program also had significant impacts on household income and employment outcomes of family members. Essay 2 - Are Public Schools Ready to Integrate Math Classes with Khan Academy? We study the impacts of the program Khan Academy in Schools using a randomized control trial in Brazilian primary public schools. Once a week, teachers would take their students to the school’s computer lab and teach using the Khan Academy platform, instead of their standard math classes. We find positive effects of the program on measures of attitudes towards math, which were not translated to a positive average treatment effect on students’ math proficiency. We also explore treatment heterogeneity by quality of implementation, suggesting that the program can have positive effects when there are no infrastructure problems and when the implementation modality is based on one computer per student. Essay 3 - Human Capital Investments Among Vulnerable Youth in Rio de Janeiro: Experimental Evidence from the Protejo Program. This paper presents experimental evidence to describe the impacts of the Project of Youth Protection in Vulnerable Territories (Protejo), implemented in Rio de Janeiro under the coordination of the Ministry of Justice with the purpose of fostering cognitive and noncognitive skills of youth participants to promote education and employment and, ultimately, reduce crime and victimization. Our results indicate that, although we find no average effects on education or noncognitive skills two years after the program, the intervention was successful in increasing beneficiaries’ probability of formal employment from 3 years after the end of the program onwards. |

Este artigo descreve os resultados de curto e médio prazos das creches municipais no Rio de Janeiro a partir de uma loteria que selecionou os beneficiários do programa em 2008 de forma experimental. Crianças que ganharam a loteria tiveram ganhos nas variáveis antropométricas, que persistiram ao longo do tempo. Foram também observados ganhos em funções cognitivas, que desapareceram 7 anos após a loteria. O programa também teve impactos significativos sobre renda das famílias e variáveis de mercado de trabalho de membros da família. Ensaio 2 - As Escolas Estão Prontas para Integrar Aulas de Matemática com Khan Academy? Este artigo estuda o impacto do programa Khan Academy nas Escolas em escolas públicas de ensino fundamental a partir de evidência experimental. Uma vez por semana, professores levavam os alunos ao laboratório de computador para uma aula usando o Khan Academy. Nossos resultados mostram que o programa teve impacto positivo sobre atitudes com relação à matemática, que não se traduziu em ganhos em proficiência em matemática. Nós também exploramos heterogeneidade no tratamento por qualidade da implementação, e os resultados sugerem que o programa pode ter efeitos positivos quando não há problemas com a infraestrutura e quando a modalidade de implementação é baseada na modalidade um aluno por computador. Ensaio 3 - Investimentos em Capital Humano de Jovens Vulneráveis no Rio de Janeiro: Evidência Experimental do Programa Protejo. Este artigo estuda, a partir de evidência experimental, os impactos do programa Protejo (Projeto de Protecao de Jovens em Territorios Vulneraveis), coordenado pelo Ministério de Justiça e implementado no Rio de Janeiro em áreas de vulnerabilidade social. O programa tinha como objetivo aperfeiçoar as habilidades cognitivas e não-cognitivas dos jovens, para aumentar escolaridade, empregabilidade, e reduzir a vitimização e criminalidade. Nossos resultados indicam que, apesar de não encontrarmos impacto sobre educação ou habilidades não cognitivas, a intervenção teve impacto significativo sobre a probabilidade de estar empregado no setor formal da economia de 3 anos após o fim do programa em diante.engEarly childhood developmentChildcarePublic childcareDaycareRCTEd-techComputer-aided-learningEducationHuman capitalVocational

Essay 1 - Public Childcare, Child Development and Labor Market Outcomes: Experimental Evidence from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This paper describes the short and medium term impacts of free public childcare provision in Rio de Janeiro using a lottery that allocated access to the program in 2008. Lottery winners had large gains in anthropometrics measures which persisted throughout time. They also had higher scores in cognitive function tests, which had faded out 7 years after the lottery took place. The program also had significant impacts on household income and employment outcomes of family members. Essay 2 - Are Public Schools Ready to Integrate Math Classes with Khan Academy? We study the impacts of the program Khan Academy in Schools using a randomized control trial in Brazilian primary public schools. Once a week, teachers would take their students to the school’s computer lab and teach using the Khan Academy platform, instead of their standard math classes. We find positive effects of the program on measures of attitudes towards math, which were not translated to a positive average treatment effect on students’ math proficiency. We also explore treatment heterogeneity by quality of implementation, suggesting that the program can have positive effects when there are no infrastructure problems and when the implementation modality is based on one computer per student. Essay 3 - Human Capital Investments Among Vulnerable Youth in Rio de Janeiro: Experimental Evidence from the Protejo Program. This paper presents experimental evidence to describe the impacts of the Project of Youth Protection in Vulnerable Territories (Protejo), implemented in Rio de Janeiro under the coordination of the Ministry of Justice with the purpose of fostering cognitive and noncognitive skills of youth participants to promote education and employment and, ultimately, reduce crime and victimization. Our results indicate that, although we find no average effects on education or noncognitive skills two years after the program, the intervention was successful in increasing beneficiaries’ probability of formal employment from 3 years after the end of the program onwards. |
