  abstract = "This technical note examines the cost-efficiency and broader benefits of implementing centralized digital student assignment systems, using Chile as a case study. The authors estimate that the reform yields over USD 13 million in net benefits by reducing implementation and search costs, improving administrative efficiency, and enabling better school-student matching. Additional advantages include enhanced transparency, better planning tools for governments, and improved satisfaction among families. These findings provide empirical support for scaling centralized systems across Latin America."
