中文摘要
1965—1966年, 智利在供给受限的社区新建并配备了数千间新的小学教室。基于准实验设计和大规模人口普查样本, 我们发现, 童年时期接触学校建设改善了成年后的受教育与劳动力市场结果, 并消除了女性在受教育程度上长期存在的劣势。女性受该政策的影响对其子女的按时升学与完成学业产生了巨大的代际溢出效应。公共资金的边际价值为13, 其中既包括对成年人的直接效应, 也包括代际溢出效应。
Abstract
In 1965–1966, Chile built and staffed thousands of new primary classrooms in supply-constrained communities. Using a quasi-experimental design and large census samples, we show that childhood exposure to school construction improved the schooling and labor market outcomes of adults and closed a persistent female disadvantage in school attainment. Women’s exposure to the policy had large intergenerational spillovers on their children’s on-time grade progression and completed schooling. The marginal value of public funds is 13, including direct effects on adults and intergenerational spillovers.
