Abstract

We use Maimonides’ rule as an instrument for class size in large Israeli samples from 2002–2011. In contrast with Angrist and Lavy (1999), newer estimates show no evidence of class size effects. The new data also reveal enrollment manipulation near Maimonides cutoffs. A modified rule that uses birthdays to impute enrollment circumvents manipulation while still generating precisely estimated zeros. In both old and new data, Maimonides’ rule is unrelated to socioeconomic characteristics conditional on a few controls. Enrollment manipulation therefore appears to be innocuous. We briefly discuss possible explanations for the disappearance of Israeli class size effects since the early 1990s. (JEL C38, H52, I21, I28)

Maimonides规则Redux
我们使用迈蒙尼德规则作为2002-2011年以色列大样本班级规模的工具。与Angrist和Lavy(1999)相比,较新的估计没有显示班级规模效应的证据。新的数据还揭示了在迈蒙尼德截止点附近的招生操纵。修改后的规则使用生日来估算注册,避免了操作,同时仍然生成精确估计的零。在旧的和新的数据中,迈蒙尼德的规则与少数控制条件下的社会经济特征无关。因此,招生操纵似乎是无害的。我们简要讨论了自20世纪90年代初以来以色列班级规模效应消失的可能解释。(jel c38, h52, i21, i28)
