Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We analyze how school vouchers affect post-secondary attainment by exploiting the Chilean voucher program, which allows students to choose which primary and secondary schools to attend. The government subsidizes tuition independently of whether the chosen school is private or public. We find that vouchers are associated with an increase in the probability of attending PSE by 2–6 percentage points, if vouchers are available before the beginning of high school. Students in urban areas benefit the most. We also find that the impacts of vouchers on PSE outcomes are maximized if vouchers are introduced before students start middle school.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
