At the end of 2 years of the program, students in incentive schools performed significantly better than those in control schools by 0.27 and 0.17 standard deviations in math and language tests, respectively. We find no evidence of any adverse consequences of the program. The program was highly cost effective, and incentive schools performed significantly better than other randomly chosen schools that received additional schooling inputs of a similar value. 2012-03-30T07:29:45Z 2012-03-30T07:29:45Z 2011 Journal Article Journal of Political Economy 00223808 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/4789 EN http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Journal Article India
