    This paper estimates the causal impact of China's targeted poverty alleviation program on the academic achievement of students from poor households. We use the longitudinal academic records of a cohort of students from all middle schools in a nationally designated poor county in China. Using the difference-in-differences approach, we show that targeted poverty alleviation improves the scholastic performance of girls and their achievement rank among peer students. However, we find no such empirical evidence for boys. Our findings suggest that the new anti-poverty program in China has the potential to ameliorate the intergenerational transmission of low socioeconomic status to girls by promoting their human capital accumulation.

    We study the impact that participation in the Erasmus program produces on a number of labor market outcomes. By implementing a Fuzzy Regression Discontinuity Design, we show that participating in the international mobility program positively affects the probability of being employed three years after graduation and reduces the time spent to find a job, whereas no significant effect is found on the likelihood of getting a job in line with the qualification acquired. These results are mainly driven by male and STEM graduates. We further investigate potential mechanisms underlying our results and find that spending a period of time studying abroad improves both the proficiency in spoken English and graduates' academic performance, and tends to increase the willingness to move to find a job.
