Politics Matter: How Political Experience Mitigates Learning Losses Caused by Natural Disasters

Short-Term Effect of 2010 Earthquake on Math Academic Achievement

Source: Authors’ tabulation based on SIMCE (2007–2012); MINEDUC (2006–2012).

Note: The coefficients representing the DID estimates using 2009 as the baseline year and low-exposure schools as the reference category. These are equivalent to model 1 in table 1. The models are covariate-adjusted and encompass the entire sample of students from all types of schools. Standard errors are clustered at the school level. Coefficients 95 percent confidence intervals.

Short and Long-Term Effect of 2010 Earthquake on School Budget Execution

Source: Authors’ tabulation based on MINEDUC (2008–2012); SIMCE (2009–2012); SERVEL (2008).

Note: The figure shows the interacted DID model plotting two parameters: τ, τ + θ as equation (2)shows. Coefficients represent the effect of high-intensity exposure on school budget execution (as percentage of the total public resources assigned to the school) using 2009 as the baseline year and low-exposure schools as the reference category. The analysis is restricted to students in municipal schools. Coefficients include 90 percent and 95 percent confidence intervals. Standard errors are clustered at the municipal level.
