dc.description.abstract	We study the effects of a policy aimed at attracting more experienced and better qualified teachers in primary schools in disadvantaged neighborhoods in Uruguay. Teachersin these schoolscould earn higher salaries. Estimates from regression discontinuity models show that the policyincreasedexperience by two to three years. The policy was especially successful in ‘hiringexperiencefrom other schools’, but also increased tenure. However, the effecton student outcomesappears to be small. The distinction between ‘hiring or keeping’teachers seems important for explaining thisresult. Keeping teachers appears to be more beneficial for students than hiring experienced teachers.We also find that the effect of the policy is better for schools that replaced teachers with less than five years of experience.	es
