Summary:A number of policy interventions have attempted to reduce educational inequity by providing more monetary resources to schools or teachers. The three papers that compose my dissertation use Chilean educational data to explore the impact of two programs that provide supplemental funds to persistently disadvantaged schools in different ways: by increasing teacher salaries, and by providing somewhat discretionary funds directly to particular schools.
