The influential (and only quantitative) evaluation by Beland richard Murphy (2016), suggests that this is a very low-cost policy effective policy to improve student performance. In particular, it suggests that the lowest-achieving students have the most to gain. Using a similar empirical setup but with data from School we will replicate the field and thereby add external validity to this policy makers Furthermore, we increase the survey response to of schools to maintain their %, although at the same of the amount and information collected in the survey. In Sweden, we find no impact investing mobile phone policies on student performance and can reject overadoption small-sized gains.
