IPA
brings together researchers and decision-makers to design, rigorously evaluate,
and refine these solutions and their applications, ensuring that the evidence
created is used to improve the lives of the world’s poor. In recent
decades, trillions of dollars have been spent on programs designed to reduce
global poverty, but clear evidence on which programs succeed is rare, and when
evidence does exist, decision-makers often do not know about it.

Skilled
and intrinsically motivated personnel are central to state capacity, yet the
capability to recruit, elicit effort from, and retain this profile of civil
servants remains a challenge in many developing countries. In this project, we
ask whether performance contracts for teachers in Rwanda can affect not only
the effort provided by existing teachers, but also the composition of
teachers. Using a two-tiered randomized, controlled trial that
distinguishes compositional effects from effort responses of individual
teachers, we evaluate the impacts of a pay-for-performance contract relative to
a fixed-wage contract on applications to teaching positions, learning outcomes,
and teacher retention. Results from this study will provide the first
developing-country experimental evidence of the effects of performance pay on
selection into the civil service, and will shed light on the possible tradeoffs
between skill and intrinsic motivation underlying these compositional effects.
