Abstract

Jere R. Behrman: This is a nice paper on an important program. I organize my comments around four topics: some critical aspects of PROGRESA from the point of view of evaluation; the Skoufias-Parker study; questions for future research on PROGRESA; and lessons for future evaluations of similar programs.
