28 Evaluation results: Health ζ 12% lower incidence of illness in children between ages 0-5. ζ Significantly positive effects on adult health
29 Nutrition ζ Does PROGRESA impact of child growth? ζ Household consumption and food diet?
30 Evaluation results: Nutrition ζ Significant effect at increasing child growth (1cm higher growth) and reducing the probability of stunting among children mo. ζ Household total consumption increases ζ PROGRESA households eat better (higher expenditures on fruits, vegetables, meats & animal products)
31 Impact of PROGRESA on Poverty (1): ζ Results so far: program has no adverse effects on labor income ζ Effects on total hh income and thus poverty depends on the direct and indirect costs associated with participation in PROGRESA. ζ Participation in PROGRESA ψ (a) income losses form children s work ψ (b) give up benefits from other programs (DIF, Ninos de Solidaridad, Abasto Social de Leche) in additional to the elimination of the Tortilla subsidy
32 Impact of PROGRESA on Poverty (2): ζ Figures 1 & 2: the effects of PROGRESA on hh income and poverty may not be adequately summarized by the size and incidence of the cash transfers ζ Econometric analysis based on individual and hh income in each round from a variety of sources: labor income, income from selfemployment, other income (pensions, rent, and community profits) and government transfers (Ninos de Solidaridad, ININ, PROBECAT, PET, PROCAMPO) +PROGRESA Cash Transfers (from program admin records)

37 Table 4 results: (1) ζ PROGRESA had a significant impact in reducing poverty between November 1997 and November ψ E.g. using the 50th percentile of the value of consumption per capita as a poverty line, suggests that the headcount poverty rate declined by around 4.88% between November 1997 and November 1998 and by 18.11% in the November 1999 in treatment areas (using as base the 55.44% headcount poverty rate in treatment localities in November 1997). ψ Over the same period, and using as base the corresponding value of the poverty gap and squared poverty gap indices in treatment areas in November 1997, the poverty gap measure declined by 37.40%, and the severity of poverty measure (squared poverty gap) declined by 47.42%. ψ The higher impacts of the program in reducing poverty over time are consistent with the findings of Gertler et al. (2006), who demonstrated that rural households increased their investments in microenterprises and agricultural activities which, improved the ability of households to generate income.
38 Table 4 results: (2) ζ Estimates are remarkably in line with the estimates obtained using ex-ante simulations. ψe.g. simulations based on the predicted consumption of each household in the evaluation sample in November 1997 and adding the maximum amount of PROGRESA cash transfers an eligible household could receive assuming full compliance with the program s requirements (see Skoufias et al., 2001).
39 Table 4 results: (3) ζ The poverty reduction effects are stronger for the poverty gap and severity of poverty measures, which put greater weight on the poorest of the poor, and our evidence suggests that these estimated poverty effects are robust to the choice of different poverty lines. ζ Figure 3 and Appendix A
40 Cost Analysis ζ Are the administrative costs of PROGRESA high? ζ What are the private costs associated with participation in the program? ζ What might be the indirect effects of the program on the national economy? (e.g. financing of the program)?
41 Evaluation Results: Cost Analysis ζ For every 100 pesos allocated to the program, 8.2 pesos are administration/program costs. ψ Very low compared to LICONSA (40 pesos per 100 pesos) and TORTIVALES (14 pesos per 100) ζ Targeting and conditioning of the program makeup 56% of program costs (4.6 pesos out of 8.2 pesos) ζ Private costs (3.8 pesos out of 8.2 pesos)
42 Evaluation Results: Cost Analysis ψeliminating distortionary food subsidies and using funds to finance a program like PROGRESA leads to substantial welfare gains.
43 The Contributions of Program Evaluation-1 ψ Program continued and improved ξ Fox administration (begun in 2001) kept and expanded the program ξ Early operations reports in PROGRESA identified implementation issues to be analyzed further (food supplements, intra-household conflict, targeting views) ξ Decision to maintain household targeting in PROGRESA expansion, but to add self-selection to administrative selection in urban areas
44 The Contributions of Program Evaluation-2 ψprogram Design improved: Program expanded to urban areas ξ Benefits extended to Preparatoria Secondary level ξ Jovenes con Oportunidades- aims to create income generating opportunities for poor households through preferential access to microcredit, housing improvements, adult education and access to social/health insurance.
45 Critical Issues to be Resolved on CCT ζ Do CCT programs break the intergenerational transmission of poverty? Need long time-series ζ What is the minimal CCT that may be paid? ψoportunidades: size of transfer based on opportunity cost of children (child wage/value of children s contribution to family )
46 Critical Issues to be Resolved: ζ Impact on Children s Achievement & Learning? ψdo CCT increase achievement or induce teachers to lower grade-passing standards? ζ Teacher & health worker incentives ζ Quality of Services
47 Critical Issues to be Resolved: ζ Do CCT generate Program/Welfare Dependency? ψso far no negative incentive effects on adult work ψtransfers & Income generation ζ Exit Rule? ψ Lack built-in flexibility to expand coverage to households falling below poverty during crisis
48 Final Issue ζ Long-Run Sustainability of Program Budget & Political Economy of Program Support

52 Concluding Remarks ζ Our analysis reveals that in the PROGRESA sample, the RDD performs very well (i.e. yields program impacts close to the ideal experimental impact estimates). ζ Critical to be aware of some of the limitations of the RDD approach: ψestimates treatment effects at the point of discontinuity (eligibility threshold). Impact on this group of households may be of less interest than impact of the program on the poorer households
53 Concluding Remarks ζ The integrity/quality of the control/comparison group is of vital importance. ψ Spillover effects do not necessarily lead to a violation of the RDD approach. As long as the local continuity assumption continues to hold even though there are spillover effects the presence of spillover effects would only affect the interpretation of the RD effect: It is the effect of being eligible for program participation in treatment villages net of spillover effects. ζ Social programs at the national scale may be very difficult to evaluate ex-post because of the difficulty in finding an adequate comparison group
