TY - JOUR T1 - Child Control in Education Decisions JF - Journal of Human Resources JO - J Hum Resour SP - 1051 LP - 1080 DO - 10.3368/jhr.50.4.1051 VL - 50 IS - 4 AU - James Berry Y1 - 2015/10/02 UR - http://jhr.uwpress.org/content/50/4/1051.abstract N2 - I report the results of a field experiment in Gurgaon, India that offered cash and noncash incentives to learn either to children or to their parents. While I find no evidence that the identity of the recipient or form of the reward mattered in the aggregate, noncash incentives targeted to children were more effective for initially low-performing children while cash incentives were more effective for high-performing children. To explore the mechanisms behind this result, I present a model of household education production and find additional empirical results consistent with the model. ER -
