Abstract: This paper examines whether higher direct federal transfers for high schools, controlled by Brazilian states, improve educational performance. To identify these effects, we exploit non-linear step-function pattern in the transfers rule. The exogenous variation is addressed by four different econometric models including similar approaches to Ferraz e Finan (2011) and Angrist e Lavy (1999) identification strategies. We show that the program has barely no effect on educational outcomes in 2013 and 2015, indicating that it needs to update its accountability.
