q3 · i? · causal · r?

The study's lottery-based instrumental analysis yields two estimates: 6.9% for an admission offer and 12.9% for actual enrollment at a KIPP school. The text provided prints only these percentages without test statistics.

"The magnitude of the estimated impact of a middle school admission offer (6.9%) and enrollment at a KIPP school (12.9%) is substantial relative to nationwide disparities in college enrollment across racial groups."
