Youth of the Future Program, Dose-Response, endogeneity, intensity of the treatment, CearáAbstract
This study aims to investigate the intensity of the treatment the schools were exposed to, represented by the quantitative adherence to the methodologies offered by the Youth of the Future Program. To this
end, we analyze the Program's performance in its 2nd cycle in the state of Ceará, 2013-2015. Following the methodology proposed by Cerulli (2015), we estimate a Dose Response Function that considers the selection bias problem caused by nonrandomness of our continuous treatment variable. Our findings confirm the effectiveness of the Program with heterogeneity in the results.
