Second, extending our fixed-effects model, we also find that the achievement gap between richer and poorer children in project villages decreased on many dimensions compared with the achievement gap in non-project villages. 2015-12-24T17:57:15Z 2015-12-24T17:57:15Z 2015-09-16 Journal Article Journal of Development Effectiveness 1943-9342 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/23517 en_US CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Taylor and Francis Publications & Research :: Journal Article Publications & Research Indonesia
