Perry Preschool Project Educational Outcomes

The video tutorial discusses the Perry Preschool Project's data on educational attainment, focusing on the conditional average treatment effect by gender. It explains the division into treatment and control groups and analyzes survey data collected at ages 27 and 40. The analysis reveals a significant positive effect of preschool on females' educational attainment, nearly doubling the percentage of those with at least a high school education. In contrast, the effect on males is negligible. The video concludes with a comparative analysis of the educational outcomes for both genders.
