Note:<br />

The estimates in this table are different than those presented in Evans and Ghosh (2008) for two reasons: First,<br />

their estimates were in 1997 U.S. dollars, whereas we have expressed them in 2006 U.S. dollars. Second, they<br />

presented “education budget cost-effectiveness” <strong>of</strong> interventions, which accounts for the deadweight loss<br />

associated with raising the necessary funds, whereas we present the original estimates given by the authors <strong>of</strong><br />

the studies (adjusted to 2006 U.S. dollars). The original figures in Dhaliwal et al. (2012) are given in 2010 U.S.<br />

dollars (footnote 3, page 8). We express these figures in 2006 U.S. dollars.<br />
