DESCRIPTION:This paper examines an early childhood\, income-based affirmati
 ve action policy that al-locates school admission points to children from l
 ow-income households based on twoincome thresholds. These thresholds create
  sharp discontinuities that we exploit using aregression discontinuity desi
 gn. Our analysis draws on the universe of school applicationssubmitted at a
 ge three\, linked to academic and well-being outcomes nine years later. We 
 findthat the affirmative action policy increases both the number and qualit
 y of feasible schooloptions available to low-income families and raises the
  likelihood of admission to their top-choice schools. However\, treated fam
 ilies do not systematically rank higher–value-addedschools or those with 
 better average test scores as their top choices. Instead\, the policyshifts
  admissions toward charter schools with slightly higher socioeconomic compo
 sition.Nine years after application\, we find no significant effects on sta
 ndardized test scores orstudent well-being.These findings suggest that earl
 y childhood affirmative action broadenseducational options for low-income f
 amilies but has limited long-term impacts.\\n\\nContact: Arthur Guillouzoui
