1/ 📚 Excited to share my JMP on Catholic schools, the world's largest nongovernmental school network. By leveraging Chile's lottery-based admission system, I estimate the impact of attending Catholic schools vs. voucher-secular and public schools on academic outcomes.

Usando diferencias en diferencias y regresión discontinua, encontramos que la independencia administrativa aumenta (i) la matrícula escolar, (ii) el desempeño académico, (iii) la calidad de los maestros contratados y, (iv) la inversión de recursos locales en educación.

2/ After four years, attending a Catholic school instead of a public school increases the likelihood of taking the Chilean College Entry Exam by 17% and raises the chances of scoring above the national mean in math and reading.

Using diff-diiff and RD, we found that administrative decentralization improves: school enrollment, student achievement, quality of teachers hired (measured by education level and scores on entry competency exams), and local resources investment in education.

6/ ⚖️ Understanding Catholic schools' value added is crucial, mainly when public funds are used to finance them through school vouchers. My research sheds light on this significance, bridging the gap in our understanding of high-performing schools.

5/ 🌐 The positive results in academic outcomes, mainly among female students, cream skimming, and similarities in school model characteristics, suggest that high-achieving charter schools in the U.S. mirror a secular version of Catholic Schools.

4/ 🕵️♂️ Regarding mechanisms, I uncover that cream-skimming of lower-ability male students in Catholic schools, coupled with stricter discipline and greater parental involvement, may contribute to superior academic outcomes- resembling high-achieving charter schools in the US.

Al parecer, la superioridad académica en los municipios certificados está menos asociado con la cantidad de recursos que manejan y más asociado con la forma en como estos municipios distribuyen los recursos de una manera más eficiente.

3/ While male students are more likely to take the college entry exam, Female students entirely drive the positive effects of scoring above the national mean on math and reading.

Estas ganancias en eficiencia pueden ser consecuencia de menores costos de transacción resultado de estar más cerca de las necesidades y preferencias de la población.

Nuestra estrategia de identificación se basa en la decisión arbitraria del gob. Colombiano- estipulado en la ley 715 de 2001- de certificar a los municipios con más de 100 mil habitantes y otorgarles independencia administrativa en educación.

5/ 👩🎓👨🎓 Stratifying by gender reveals other important results—females attending Catholic schools are deterred from STEM majors while more inclined toward health-related ones. Male students don't follow this trend.

Our identification strategy relies on the Colombian 2001 arbitrary rule that granted municipalities with a 2002 population > 100,000 almost complete autonomy to provide educational services (certified municipalities).

The main mechanism seem to be less related to the amount of resources the municipalities manage, and more associated with the fact that resources seem to better allocated, generating efficiency gains.

La calidad en el pool de maestros contratados y la mayor inversión de recursos propios en educación parecen explicar sólo parcialmente las mejoras en el desempeño académico de los estudiantes.

This gains may be the consequence of lower transaction costs of matching local preferences and needs with local educational interventions.

Higher quality teachers and higher investment of local resources in education seem to only partially explain the superiority of decentralized municipalities in educational outcomes.
