The Uruguay program increased educational attainment by 0.17 years and increased earnings by 8% two years after participation.
“The authors find the program both increased educational attainment (by 0.17 years) and increased earnings by 8% two years after participation.”
From College Costs, Financial Aid, and Student Decisions (2022) · cites this paper as Le Barbanchon, Ubfal and Araya (2020)
Section 6.1 (pp. 34–35) reports an increase in educational attainment of 0.185–0.186 years, not 0.17 years. The appendix labor-outcomes table (p. 54) reports Year 2 earnings $259.82 above a $2,999.47 control mean—about 8.7%, broadly consistent with the claimed 8%. (LLM, conf=0.85)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredEffects of the Uruguay program did not seem to depend upon the relationship between the job sector and the student's field of study.
“Importantly, effects did not seem to depend upon the relationship between the job sector and the student's field of study.”
From College Costs, Financial Aid, and Student Decisions (2022) · cites this paper as Le Barbanchon, Ubfal and Araya (2020)
Section 5.1 (p. 27) reports that whether a program job was in banking or the civil sector did not make a large difference to post-program earnings. But the paper does not test whether effects depended on the relationship between a student's field of study and the job sector. Section 2 (p. 10) says matching prioritized compatible hours over relevance to study specialization. (LLM, conf=0.85)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredA subgroup analysis of university participants found a similar pattern of effects.
“Although many participants were in secondary rather than postsecondary education, a subgroup analysis of university participants found a similar pattern of effects.”
From College Costs, Financial Aid, and Student Decisions (2022) · cites this paper as Le Barbanchon, Ubfal and Araya (2020)
Section 5.2 (p. 28, footnote 32) reports an analysis of university students’ self-reported academic performance and says its treatment effects were not statistically significant, as with the reported GPA effects. It does not report a similar pattern across the study’s other outcomes for university participants, so the claim is supported only for academic performance. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
