%0 Journal Article %A James Berry %T Child Control in Education Decisions %B An Evaluation of Targeted Incentives to Learn in India %D 2015 %R 10.3368/jhr.50.4.1051 %J Journal of Human Resources %P 1051-1080 %V 50 %N 4 %X 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. %U https://jhr.uwpress.org/content/wpjhr/50/4/1051.full.pdf
