          Abstract

          We estimate the average treatment effect (ATE) parameter and treatment on the treated (TT) for those students effectively choosing a private voucher school. With detailed individual data for both the school and the family of the student we are able to control for factors not used before in the literature. Controlling for the selection bias caused by school choice, we estimate a small ATE but a substantial TT. The paper concludes that the voucher system works to provide a better education to those that use it

          Translated abstract

          En este trabajo estimamos el efecto de tratamiento promedio (average treatment effect parameter, ATE) y el efecto del tratamiento en los tratados (treatment on the treated parameter, TT) para aquellos alumnos que escogieron establecimientos subvencionados privados. Debido a que contamos con información a nivel individual de los establecimientos y de la familia de origen de los estudiantes, podemos controlar por características que no habían sido utilizadas en la literatura previa. Controlando por la autoselección de los alumnos en los establecimientos educacionales, encontramos un ATE pequeño y un alto TT. Este último es el parámetro de interés convencional utilizado para evaluar este tipo de programas. Se concluye que el sistema de subvenciones es efectivo en proveer una mejor educación para aquellos alumnos que escogen los establecimientos privados subvencionados
