中文摘要
本研究考察了中国高校专项计划（Special College Admission Policy, SCAP）的教育影响，这是一项基于地域的平权行动项目，为来自贫困农村地区的学生预留重点高校名额。利用中国家庭追踪调查数据，我们证明该政策显著提高了目标个体的受教育程度。平均而言，政策资格使受教育年限增加0.55年，四年制大学入学率提高8.4个百分点。高校专项计划的教育影响远超仅归因于预留名额本身的收益。机制分析表明，高校专项计划激励了个体与地方政府，导致普通高中入学率提高，以及私人与公共教育投资增加。
Abstract
This study investigates the educational impact of China’s Special College Admission Policy (SCAP), a place-based affirmative action program that reserves key-college seats for students from impoverished rural areas. Using data from the China Family Panel Studies, we demonstrate that this policy significantly improves the educational attainment of targeted individuals. On average, policy eligibility increases schooling by 0.55 years and the 4-year college attendance rate by 8.4 percentage points. The educational impact of the SCAP far exceeds the gains attributable to the reserved seats alone. Mechanism analysis reveals that the SCAP incentivizes both individuals and local governments, leading to higher academic high school enrollment and increased private and public investments in education.
