  • Testing education interventions in ecological contexts with controlled trials in France

    Open AccessMarc GurgandARTICLERevue internationale d éducation…2019

    The relevance of school interventions in ecological contexts is hard to anticipate, because of the complexity of school and social environments. It is thus important to test rigorously interventions at scale using randomized field experiments. I will illustrate how simple parental interventions designed by local French education authorities were tested at a large scale. These low cost interventions consist in collective meetings between parents a…

  • Adjusting Your Dreams? High School Plans and Dropout Behaviour

    Open AccessDominique Goux, Marc Gurgand et al.ARTICLEThe Economic Journal2017Citada por: 21Referencias: 18

    At the end of middle school, many low‐achieving students realise that they do not have the ability to get into selective high school programmes, which may be a source of disengagement and eventually lead them to drop out of high school. Based on a randomised controlled trial, this article shows that a series of meetings facilitated by the school principals can help low‐achievers to formulate educational objectives better suited to their academic …

  • Ready for Boarding? The Effects of a Boarding School for Disadvantaged Students

    Luc Behaghel, Clément de Chaisemartin et al.ARTICLEAmerican Economic Journal Applied…2016

    Boarding schools substitute school to home, but little is known on the effects this substitution produces on students. We present results of an experiment in which seats in a boarding school for disadvantaged students were randomly allocated. Boarders enjoy better studying conditions than control students. However, they start outperforming control students in mathematics only two years after admission, and this effect mostly comes from strong stu…

    Adjusting Your Dreams? The Effect of School and Peers on Dropout Behaviour 1At the end of middle school, many low achieving students have to abandon hope of getting into selective high-school programs, which may be a source of disappointment and eventually lead them to dropout from high-school.Based on a randomized controlled trial, this paper shows that low-achieving students' aspirations can be made more realistic through a series of meetings f…

    Luc Behaghel, Bruno Crépon et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…2014

    We propose a novel selectivity correction procedure to deal with survey attrition in treatment effect models, at the crossroads of the Heckit model and the bounding approach of Lee (2009). As a substitute for the instrument needed in sample selectivity correction models, we use information on the number of prior calls made to each individual before obtaining a response to the survey. We obtain sharp bounds to the average treatment effect on the c…

  • GettingParentsInvolved

    Francesco Avvisati, Adrien Bouguen et al.DATASETAEA Randomized Controlled Trials2014

    This paper presents a randomized field experiment conducted in a set of French middle schools located in a deprived educational district near Paris. Parents in test groups were invited to participate in a simple program of training sessions on how to get better involved in their children’s education. At the end of the school-year, we find that treated families effectively increased their school- and home-based involvement activities. Children of …

  • Private and Public Provision of Counseling to Job Seekers

    Luc Behaghel, Bruno Crépon et al.ARTICLEAmerican Economic Journal Applied…2014

    This paper reports the results of a large-scaled randomized controlled experiment comparing the public and private provision of counseling to job seekers. The intention-to-treat estimates of both programs are not statistically different, but more workers were enrolled in the private program, implying an effect per beneficiary that is twice as large under the public as under the private program. We find suggestive evidence that the private firms m…

  • Do Labor Market Policies have Displacement Effects? Evidence from a Clustered Randomized Experiment

    Bruno Crépon, Esther Duflo et al.ARTICLEThe Quarterly Journal of Economics2013

    This article reports the results from a randomized experiment designed to evaluate the direct and indirect (displacement) impacts of job placement assistance on the labor market outcomes of young, educated job seekers in France. We use a two-step design. In the first step, the proportions of job seekers to be assigned to treatment (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100%) were randomly drawn for each of the 235 labor markets (e.g., cities) participating in th…

  • Getting Parents Involved

    Francesco Avvisati, Marc Gurgand et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Economic Studies2013

    This article provides evidence that schools can influence parents' involvement in education, and this has causal effects on pupils' behaviour. Furthermore, it shows how the impact of more involved parents on their children is amplified at the class level by peer group interaction. We build on a large-scale controlled experiment run in a French deprived educational district, where parents of middle-school children were invited to participate in a …
