This paper investigates the impact of the School Breakfast Program (SBP) on cognitive achievement. The SBP is a federal entitlement program that offers breakfast to any student, including free breakfast for any low-income student, who attends a school that participates in the program. To increase the availability of the SBP, many states mandate that schools participate in the program if the percent of free or reduced-price eligible students in a school exceeds a specific threshold. Using the details of these mandates as a source of identifying variation, I find that the availability of the program increases student achievement.
本文研究了学校早餐计划（SBP）对认知成绩的影响。学校早餐计划是一项联邦应享权益计划，为任何就读于参与该计划学校的学生提供早餐，包括为任何低收入学生提供免费早餐。为了提高学校早餐计划的覆盖率，许多州规定，如果一所学校中符合免费或减价条件的学生比例超过特定阈值，学校就必须参与该计划。利用这些规定的细节作为识别变量的来源，我发现该计划的覆盖率提高了学生成绩。
