摘要：本文估计了世界上规模最大的学校扩张政策之一的直接效应与代际效应。自1993—1994年起，印度地区初等教育项目（District Primary Education Programme, DPEP）新建了逾10万所学校，惠及超过5,000万名儿童。利用模糊断点回归（fuzzy RD）设计，本文表明该政策提高了男性和女性直接受益者的入学率、识字率与受教育年限。此外，本文发现，母亲为DPEP受益者的儿童在本地语言（18%）、数学（13%）和英语（15%）测试中的成绩更高，而父亲接触DPEP对子女的学习没有影响。
Abstract
<h3>Abstract</h3> This paper estimates the direct and intergenerational effects of one of the world’s largest school expansion policies. Starting in 1993-94, the District Primary Education Programme (DPEP) constructed over 100,000 new schools and served over 50 million children in India. Using a fuzzy regression discontinuity design I show that the policy increased enrollment, literacy and years of education for both male and female direct beneficiaries. Further, I find that children whose mothers were DPEP beneficiaries had higher scores on vernacular (18 percent), math (13 percent), and English (15 percent) tests, while Father’s DPEP exposure had no effect on children’s learning.
