Resumo(s)
Combining 2015 ward-level elections and PSLE test scores data, this work examines the impact
of Tanzanian ruling party alignment on education outcomes across Tanzanian wards. The
methodology implemented is the Sharp Regression Discontinuity Design leveraging close
elections, with education outcome as dependent variable, CCM election victory as treatment
and margin of victory as assignment variable. Considering estimates for the four years after the
elections, we find no significant effects on pupils’ school performances in wards locally
governed by CCM if compared to students in wards not aligned with the ruling party.
