About: In 2018, the Brazilian government closed 13 fake high schools. We examine how these diplomas affected the lives of these high schools' "graduates." We use quantitative data on individuals' earnings before and after they "graduated." We look for additional patterns on whether employers seem to learn about the fake credentials.
