| Abstract | dc.description.abstract | Previous empirical research has shown that Mexico’s Oportunidades program
has succeeded in increasing schooling and improving health of disadvantaged
children. This paper studies the program’s potential longer-term consequences
for the poverty and inequality of these children. It adapts methods developed in
DiNardo, Fortin and Lemieux (1996) and incorporates existing experimental
estimates of the program’s effects on human capital to analyze how Oportunidades
will affect future earnings of program participants. We nonparametrically simulate
earnings distributions, with and without the program, and predict that
Oportunidades will increase future mean earnings but have only modest effects
on poverty rates and earnings inequality. | en_US |
