Altruism or Money?: Reducing Teacher Sorting Using Behavioral Strategies in Peru
Inequality in access to high-quality teachers is an important driver of student socioeconomic achievement gaps. We experimentally evaluate a novel nation-wide low-cost government program aimed at reducing teacher sorting. Specifically, we tested two behavioral strategies designed to induce teachers to apply to job vacancies in disadvantaged schools. These strategies consisted of an "Altruistic Identity" treatment arm, which primed teachers altruistic identity by making it more salient, and an "Extrinsic Incentives" arm, which simplified the information and increased the salience of an existing government monetary-incentive scheme rewarding teachers who work in underprivileged institutions. We show that both strategies are successful in triggering teacher candidates to apply to such vacancies, as well as making them more likely to be assigned to a final in-person evaluation in a disadvantaged school. The effect among high-performing teachers is larger, especially in the "Altruistic" arm. Our results imply that low-cost behavioral strategies can enhance the supply and quality of professionals willing to teach in high-need areas.

Cost Simulation Tool for Long-Term Care Systems: An Application to Latin America and the Caribbean
The cost simulation tool for long-term care systems provides a way to estimate how much it would cost governments in Latin America and the Caribbean to implement this type of system. The simulation tool is meant to assist policymakers as they decide who will receive support from the system and what type of services they will receive. This technical note explains what the cost simulation tool is and how to use it. Essentially, it is an Excel file that can be used to apply the bottom-up cost model used for Mexico in González-González et al. (2019) and discussed in Cafagna et al. (2019). It is useful because it allows users to create service packages based on their preferences and quickly see how much a system that offers that package would cost. Users can then compare service packages and see how costs would change in the future. This technical note concludes with an exercise where the cost simulation tool is applied to seven Latin American countries using the same parameters. The results show that a long-term care system with a relatively generous package of services and with universal coverage for adults over age 60 would cost governments between 0.5% and 1.0% of gross domestic product.

On the Dynamics of the Projects Approval Process
This technical note analyzes specific project- and country-level characteristics that affect the duration of the projects approval process from year to year and builds a framework to characterize projects that would require further monitoring to complete their approval process. We present evidence that the number of team leaders changes, the time that a project remains in pipeline A, the size of a project relative to the pipeline of its country, and whether it is an electoral year in a given country affect the rate at which projects are approved. These empirical regularities can support the projects preparation process and better allocate resources and efforts to optimize approval times.

Teacher Hiring Instruments and Teacher Value Added: Evidence from Peru
In this article, we explore whether the evaluation instruments used to recruit teachers in the national teacher hiring process in Peru are good predictors of teacher effectiveness. To this end, we estimate teacher value-added (TVA) measures for public primary school teachers in 2018 and test for their correlation with the results of the 2015 and 2017 national evaluations. Our findings indicate that among the three sub-tests that comprise the first, centralized stage of the process, the curricular and pedagogical knowledge component has the strongest (and significant) correlation with the TVA measure, while the weakest correlation is found with the reading comprehension component. At the second, decentralized stage, we find no significant correlation with our measures of TVA for math, as well as non-robust correlations for the professional experience and classroom observation evaluation instruments. A positive and significant correlation is found between the classroom observation component and TVA for reading. Moreover, we find correlations between our measure of TVA and several teacher characteristics: TVA is higher for female teachers and for those at higher salary levels while it is lower for teachers with temporary contracts (compared to those with permanent positions).

Educar en tiempos de pandemia: Un nuevo impulso para la transformación digital del sistema educativo en la Argentina
La incorporación de tecnologías digitales a los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje tiene un enorme potencial para ampliar las oportunidades de que los niños, niñas, adolescentes y jóvenes desplieguen trayectorias escolares completas, extensas y densas en aprendizajes. Desde mediados de 2020, debido a las medidas para la contención de la circulación del COVID-19, el sistema educativo migró masivamente al espacio digital para impulsar respuestas de emergencia para sostener la continuidad pedagógica. Desde entonces, las políticas educativas digitales, en marcha desde hacía más de dos décadas, recibieron un impulso insospechado. La nota hace foco en las respuestas educativas de emergencia vinculadas con la digitalización del sistema educativo argentino en el 2020. Su propósito es ofrecer información relevante para caracterizar las tendencias recientes e identificar su potencial y áreas de mejora para consolidar políticas digitales sistémicas que contribuyan, en el corto plazo, a potenciar los modelos de educación híbrida y, en el mediano plazo, a transformar el tiempo escolar en una experiencia más disfrutable y enriquecedora que impulse el aprendizaje dialógico, crítico y en profundidad para cada estudiante.

Aprendizaje en línea seguro: políticas y gobernanza para la protección de datos de los estudiantes en América Latina
Desde principios de 2020 y hasta la fecha de publicación de este reporte, algunas de las escuelas donde estudian más de 168 millones de niños y niñas del mundo llevan más de un año entero cerradas debido a la pandemia del Covid-19. Como respuesta de emergencia, millones de estudiantes, docentes y directores tuvieron que migrar de manera masiva a plataformas digitales para no interrumpir su aprendizaje y enseñanza. Aún cuando el uso de la tecnología es fundamental para la educación en momentos de distanciamiento social, y su importancia sólo seguirá creciendo en el futuro, el uso de estas plataformas pone a los niños y las niñas en un estado de vulnerabilidad si los datos que se recolectan y guardan de ellos y ellas no son gestionados de manera que protejan su privacidad y seguridad. Es importante que los países de Latinoamérica impulsen una gobernanza de datos de sistemas educativos centrada en los derechos de los estudiantes. Esta gobernanza requeriría un conjunto de iniciativas y procedimientos que prescriban la manera correcta de recopilar, mantener, utilizar y distribuir los datos sensibles, concretamente la información personal de estudiantes y docentes. Este reporte busca servir como insumo para que las Secretarías y Ministerios de Educación de la región sigan desarrollando políticas, procedimientos y responsabilidades que proporcionen claridad en torno a los datos de los estudiantes, preparando el camino para que la información proteja los derechos de privacidad, confidencialidad y seguridad del estudiante.

OVE's Review of Project Completion Reports (PCRs) and Expanded Supervision Reports (XSRs): The 2021 Validation Cycle
The report summarizes the results of the 2021 validation of Project Completion Reports (PCRs) and Expanded Supervision Reports (XSRs) by the Office of Evaluation and Oversight (OVE). PCRs are self-assessments of project performance by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB); XSRs are their equivalent for IDB Invest. Both PCRs and XSRs are intended to serve as accountability and learning tools.

Helping Struggling Students and Benefiting All: Peer Effects in Primary Education
We exploit the randomized evaluation of a remedying education intervention that improved the reading skills of low-performing third grade students in Colombia, to study whether providing educational support to low-achieving students affects the academic performance of their higher-achieving classmates. We find that the test scores of non-treated children in treatment schools increased by 0.108 of a standard deviation compared to similar children in control schools. We interpret the reduced-form effect on higher-achieving students as a spillover effect within treated schools. We then estimate a linear-in-means model of peer effects, finding that a one-standard-deviation increase in peers' contemporaneous achievement increases individual test scores by 0.679 of a standard deviation. We rule out alternative explanations coming from a reduction in class size. We explore several mechanisms, including teachers' effort, students' misbehavior, and peer-to-peer interactions. Our findings show that policies aimed at improving the bottom of the achievement distribution have the potential to generate social-multiplier effects that benefit all.

The Role of Agents and the Nature of Limitations in the Performance of Development Projects
Development practitioners aspire to improve lives, but achieving results is challenging. What prevents operations from achieving their objectives? Answering this question is critical to promote success. This Discussion Paper proposes to analyze operations first to identify if they faced limitations to effectiveness, then to identify which key stakeholders faced those limitations, and finally, whether such limitations were exogenous. Such an approach may strengthen accountability and learning. An analysis of 62 project completion reports evaluated in 2022 by the Inter-American Development Bank shows that success was contingent upon critical agents performance and the influence of exogenous factors. Four in 10 operations that failed had agents other than the executing agency face challenges. The same share of operations had agents face limitations derived from the project environment or third-party inputs beyond their control. Despite limitations, the proposed framework may provide insights for future work that promotes effectiveness.

IDB Group Project Performance: The 2023 Validation Cycle
This report summarizes the 2023 results of the Office of Evaluation and Oversight's (OVE's) annual review of project performance at the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) Group. Every year, IDB Group Management prepares self-evaluations on the final results of its operations. These are called Project Completion Reports (PCRs) at the IDB and Expanded Supervision Reports (XSRs) at IDB Invest. PCRs and XSRs are then validated by OVE to ensure that they are substantiated by evidence and are prepared in accordance with their respective guidelines. Self-evaluations are intended to serve as accountability and learning tools. The IDB Group's project evaluation methodology is objectives-based. Project performance is rated based on four core criteria: (i) relevance of the project's goals and design, (ii) effectiveness or the degree to which the project achieved the specific objectives for which it was approved, (iii) efficiency with which the objectives were achieved, and (iv) sustainability of the results achieved. Each project then receives an overall outcome rating, calculated as a weighted average of the core criteria ratings, where effectiveness has the highest weight. In addition, two noncore criteria are rated for IDB operations (Bank performance and borrower performance), while three are rated for IDB Invest operations (additionality, investment profitability, and work quality). OVE also rates the quality of the self-evaluation reports by Management. The overall outcome is rated on a six-point scale, while core criteria, noncore criteria, and PCR and XSR quality are rated on a four-point scale. For simplicity, this report groups ratings into “positive” and “negative,” where positive corresponds to the top half ratings in the scale, and negative to the bottom half.
