2 Introducton Can we generate a meanngful analyss of the lkely effect of a program before ts mplementaton? To answer ths queston: An analyss of Ex-Ante model s needed but Heavly dependent on assumptons and on the model t s based on; Requres valdaton: Ex-Ante smulaton s a component of a complex Ex-Post evaluaton scheme. 2

3 Introducton Man Objectve of presentaton: Descrbe the Ex Ante toolkt model for schoolng behavor developed by HDNSP on the bass of the Bourgugnon, Ferrera and Lete (2003) model Approach: Descrbe the model Valdate the model Show the how s to of the BFL model 3

4 Ex-Ante Model Generate the lkely mpact of a (C or U) cash transfer program How useful? Can be used to desgn or re-desgn exstent polces; Expand set of relevant questons What s the best transfer amount of a program? What are the dstrbutonal effects of dfferent transfer levels for a new program? Should programs promote beneft dfferentaton? Should benefts be dentcal for all partcpants? Do condtonaltes matter? What are the ncome and substtuton effects of a transfer? Should a transfer be made explctly uncondtonal, or should condtonalty be enforced? To what extent do results vary accordng to gender, ncome level or geographcal context (e.g. rural, urban) How much would a program cost regardng dfferent desgn consderatons? 4

5 BFL model Why BFL nstead of Attanaso, Meghr and Santago (2005) or Todd and Wolpn (2005)? Smplcty: dynamc Ex-Ante models as AMS and TW are data ntensve; rely on panel data; model end-up beng calbrate on a especal sub-sample (convergence) BFL man hypothess Untary model of household; Adults are unaffected by chldren s choce; Sblngs nteracton are gnored; Household composton s exogenous 5

11 The BFL model Data requrement: Representatve household survey for the populaton of nterest A representatve cross-sectonal household survey for the populaton of nterest. A mult-topc household survey to better measure the dfferent aspects of the ndvdual behavoral and ther correlatons 11

In the example data we dentfy for each household a three level of geographcal dsaggregaton as follows: 1. Geographcal Zone 2. Cluster 3. Urban/Rural cluster 4. Household
