Abstract

Cet article examine la qualité des évaluations ex-ante des effets des programmes d'allocations scolaires sur les activités des enfants dans les pays en développement. Nous utilisons les données d'une expérience sociale d'évaluation du programme mexicain Progresa. Nous comparons les prévisions données par un modèle ex-ante de forme réduite des effets de transferts de revenus sur la scolarisation et le travail des enfants aux impacts estimés ex-post par l'expérience sociale. L'estimation ex-ante des effets du revenu parental repose sur son instrumentation par les biens durables et les caractéristiques des logements des bénéficiaires. Nos résultats montrent que les prévisions ex-ante des impacts du programme sont proches des impacts estimés ex-post. Nous discutons les biais de ces deux méthodes d'évaluation.
