Should Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) be the tool for implementing the new Sustainable Development Goals, as they were for the Millennium Development Goals? Surprisingly, despite the controversies around them, there has never been a quantitative evaluation of PRSPs. This paper estimates the impact of having a PRSP on various targets of the Millennium Development Goals. Results suggest that countries under PRSP treatment achieve much greater reductions than control countries, in head count poverty and infant mortality, while also achieving greater improvements in primary school enrolments and gender parity.

减贫战略文件（Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers, PRSP）是否应如同其曾作为千年发展目标（Millennium Development Goals）的落实工具一般，成为新可持续发展目标（Sustainable Development Goals）的实施载体？令人意外的是，尽管此类文件存在诸多争议，学界至今尚未对其开展过定量评估。本文评估了实施减贫战略文件对千年发展目标各项具体指标的影响。研究结果表明，相较于对照组国家，实施减贫战略文件的国家在贫困人口占比缩减与婴儿死亡率降低方面取得了更为显著的成效，同时在小学入学率提升与性别均等改善方面也实现了更大幅度的进步。
