This paper studies the effect of a civil service reform on teacher hiring and student achievement in Mexico. The reform replaced discretionary hiring with a rule-based recruitment system, among other changes to the teacher civil service. We find that teachers hired after the reform had higher prior academic achievement. Two channels likely explain this improvement. First, the reform reduced the prevalence of discretionary hires, who were disproportionately drawn from the lower end of the achievement distribution. Second, it enhanced the screening efficiency of rule-based hiring, making prior academic achievement a more important determinant of hiring outcomes. Finally, we show that the reform led to an overall improvement in student achievement in mathematics.
本文研究了墨西哥公务员制度改革对教师招聘和学生成绩的影响。这项改革以基于规则的招聘制度取代了自由裁量的招聘,并对教师公务员制度进行了其他改革。我们发现,改革后聘用的教师具有更高的先验学业成绩。这种改善可能有两个原因。首先,改革减少了自由裁量雇用的盛行,这些人不成比例地来自成就分布的低端。第二,它提高了基于规则的招聘的筛选效率,使先前的学术成就成为招聘结果的更重要决定因素。最后,我们表明改革导致了学生数学成绩的全面提高。

We examine the impact of single-sex schooling on student outcomes, including standardized test scores, perceptions of academic environments, and intended college majors. To address self-selection into single-sex schools, we use data on students’ school preferences revealed through applications in a school choice program in Seoul, South Korea. We find that single-sex schooling enhances academic performance for girls but not for boys. Although single-sex schools create a more positive academic environment for girls, they also reduce female interest in STEM majors, while increasing STEM interest among boys—potentially widening the gender gap in STEM fields. Our findings highlight the importance of considering both cognitive and non-cognitive outcomes, as well as the potential for gender differences.
我们研究了单性别教育对学生成绩的影响,包括标准化考试成绩、对学术环境的看法和预期的大学专业。为了解决进入单性别学校的自我选择问题,我们使用了韩国首尔一个择校项目中通过申请显示的学生择校偏好数据。我们发现,单性别教育提高了女孩的学习成绩,但对男孩却没有效果。虽然单性别学校为女孩创造了一个更积极的学习环境,但它们也降低了女性对STEM专业的兴趣,同时增加了男孩对STEM专业的兴趣,这可能会扩大STEM领域的性别差距。我们的研究结果强调了考虑认知和非认知结果的重要性,以及性别差异的可能性。

This paper estimates the causal effects of math instructional time on student achievement using within-student variation across math topics in the TIMSS 2011 data. Based on the assessment’s detailed measurement of math skills, it shows that each weekly hour of math instruction in a given topic increases student test scores in that topic by 4.3% of a SD. However, the productivity of instructional time varies significantly based on the implementation of teaching practices that prioritize student active participation: teachers emphasizing these practices are more than twice as productive as other teachers. This result holds true regardless of student gender, social origin, and is observed internationally in 42 countries.
本文利用2011年TIMSS数据中数学主题的学生内部差异来估计数学教学时间对学生成绩的因果影响。根据该评估对数学技能的详细测量,它表明,每周在给定主题上每上一个小时的数学教学,学生在该主题上的考试成绩就会提高4.3%的标准差。然而,教学时间的生产力根据优先考虑学生积极参与的教学实践的实施而有很大差异:强调这些实践的教师的生产力是其他教师的两倍以上。无论学生的性别、社会出身如何,这一结果都是正确的,并且在42个国家得到了观察。

Intergenerational spillover of peers' parental human capital on adolescent mental health: Evidence from random class assignments in China 父母人力资本对青少年心理健康的代际溢出效应:来自中国随机班级作业的证据
IF 1.8 3区 经济学 Q2 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2026-04-01 Epub Date: 2026-02-10 DOI: 10.1016/j.econedurev.2026.102773

This study examines how intergenerational spillovers from classmates’ parental human capital affect adolescent mental health. Using data from the 2013–2014 China Education Panel Survey and exploiting random class assignment to address endogeneity arising from non-random selection into classrooms, we find that a higher proportion of highly educated parents within a class significantly worsens students’ psychological well-being. Heterogeneity analysis shows a more pronounced negative impact among male students. Mechanism analysis reveals that educational competition is the primary driver: a one standard deviation increase in the share of highly educated parents increases extracurricular tutoring expenditures by 547.3 Yuan, raises tutoring enrollment by 0.13 classes, adds 9.44 minutes to daily extracurricular study time, and reduces daily sleep by 6.22 minutes. Furthermore, we identify a shift toward school-centric parenting, characterized by increased monitoring rather than emotional support. Although positive spillovers improve classroom environments, these benefits are dominated by the adverse effects of intensified competition and pressure-driven parenting. These findings underscore the importance of refining education policies and family strategies to balance academic pressures with adolescents’ mental health needs.
本研究探讨了同学父母人力资本的代际溢出效应对青少年心理健康的影响。利用2013-2014年中国教育小组调查的数据,并利用随机班级分配来解决非随机选择课堂所产生的内生性问题,我们发现,班级中高学历父母的比例越高,学生的心理健康状况就会显著恶化。异质性分析显示,男生的负面影响更为明显。机制分析表明,教育竞争是主要驱动因素:高学历家长比例每增加1个标准差,课外辅导支出就增加547.3元,课外辅导招生人数增加0.13班,每天课外学习时间增加9.44分钟,每天睡眠时间减少6.22分钟。此外,我们还发现了一种以学校为中心的教育方式的转变,其特点是加强监督而不是情感支持。虽然积极的溢出效应改善了课堂环境,但这些好处主要是由激烈的竞争和压力驱动的养育所产生的不利影响所主导的。这些发现强调了完善教育政策和家庭策略以平衡学业压力和青少年心理健康需求的重要性。

Wage returns to human capital resulting from an extra year of primary school: Evidence from Egypt 多上一年小学教育带来的人力资本工资回报:来自埃及的证据
IF 1.8 3区 经济学 Q2 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2026-04-01 Epub Date: 2026-01-27 DOI: 10.1016/j.econedurev.2026.102760

In this paper, we examine the wage returns to an extra year of primary school using a policy reform in Egypt, which reduced compulsory primary schooling from 6 to 5 years. Since this policy changed the duration of primary school while providing the same diploma, we can estimate the human capital effects holding the sheepskin effects constant. We find that the wage returns to an extra year of primary school for Egyptian men aged 24–44 are a statistically insignificant 2–4 percent. Despite the low returns for the overall population, the returns are much higher for men born in rural areas and men whose fathers have low levels of education—indicating important human capital effects for underprivileged boys. Consistent with this result, we find that the policy effects of a one-year reduction in primary schooling on schooling attainment at various levels are more adverse for underprivileged boys. Our findings, therefore, suggest that such a policy could be particularly detrimental for students from lower socioeconomic groups—contributing to increased inequality.
在本文中,我们使用埃及的一项政策改革来检验额外一年小学教育的工资回报,该政策改革将义务小学教育从6年减少到5年。由于该政策在提供相同文凭的情况下改变了小学教育年限,我们可以在保持羊皮效应不变的情况下估计人力资本效应。我们发现,对于24-44岁的埃及男性来说,多上一年的小学教育所带来的工资回报在统计上微不足道,只有2 - 4%。尽管总体回报率较低,但出生在农村地区的男性和父亲受教育程度较低的男性的回报率要高得多——这表明,对贫困男孩来说,人力资本效应很重要。与这一结果一致,我们发现,减少一年小学教育对各级学校教育成就的政策影响对贫困男孩更为不利。因此,我们的研究结果表明,这样的政策对社会经济地位较低的学生尤其有害,会加剧不平等。

What happens when we pay our teachers more? Evidence from New Jersey public schools 如果我们给老师加薪会怎么样?来自新泽西公立学校的证据
IF 1.8 3区 经济学 Q2 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2026-02-01 Epub Date: 2026-01-06 DOI: 10.1016/j.econedurev.2025.102755

This paper examines the impact of increasing teacher salaries on student outcomes by exploiting variation from the “50K The First Day” campaign that established a $50,000 salary floor for new teachers across New Jersey school districts. Using school-level data from 2003 to 2019, I employ a staggered difference-in-differences design with variation in both timing and magnitude and first show that the campaign shifted the entire salary schedule, raising pay for incumbents as well as new teachers (approximately $1500 on average). I then estimate effects on standardized achievement, graduation, and near-term college enrollment. Achievement gains emerge gradually: by five years after adoption, high school Math and ELA increase by about 0.15–0.20 and 0.12–0.17 standard deviations (SD), respectively with modest increases in Grade 4 Math, average effects are 0.03–0.05 SD. Despite higher salaries across the experience distribution, per-pupil spending – both total and teacher-specific – does not increase. Instead, districts appear to finance the schedule change through modest staffing reductions. Analyzing the mechanisms through which these positive effects could have been observed, I rule out teacher migration as a key driver suggesting that the observed improvements are more likely due to changes in teacher motivation and the quality of new teachers entering the profession.
本文研究了教师工资增加对学生成绩的影响,通过利用“50K第一天”活动的变化,该活动为新泽西州各学区的新教师建立了50,000美元的工资底线。利用2003年至2019年的学校层面数据,我采用了时间和幅度都不同的交错差异设计,首先表明该活动改变了整个工资时间表,提高了在职教师和新教师的工资(平均约为1500美元)。然后估计对标准化成绩、毕业和近期大学入学的影响。成绩的提高是逐渐显现的:收养5年后,高中数学和ELA分别提高了约0.15-0.20和0.12-0.17个标准差(SD),其中四年级数学有适度的提高,平均效果为0.03-0.05 SD。尽管经历分配的每个学生的工资都有所提高,但每个学生的支出——无论是总体支出还是针对教师的支出——并没有增加。相反,各学区似乎通过适度裁员来为时间表的改变提供资金。通过分析观察到这些积极影响的机制,我排除了教师迁移是一个关键驱动因素的可能性,这表明观察到的改善更有可能是由于教师动机的变化和新教师进入该行业的质量。

Disruptive interactions: Long-run peer effects of disciplinary schools 破坏性互动:纪律学校的长期同伴效应

We study the effects of disruptive peers within disciplinary schools. When regular instructional schools send disruptive students away to disciplinary schools, removed students are exposed to highly disruptive peers. Using rich administrative data on Texas high school students, we leverage within-school-year variation in peer composition at disciplinary schools to estimate the effects. We show that for students placed in disciplinary schools, exposure to more disruptive peer groups increases their subsequent removals and reduces educational attainment and earnings. Our results draw attention to an unintended consequence of student removal and underscore how brief exposure to disruptive peers can affect students’ long-run trajectories.
我们研究了纪律学校中破坏性同伴的影响。当正规教育学校把捣乱的学生送到纪律学校时,被开除的学生就会接触到高度捣乱的同龄人。利用德克萨斯州高中生的丰富行政数据,我们利用纪律学校同龄人组成的学年内变化来估计效果。我们表明,对于那些被安置在纪律学校的学生来说,接触更具破坏性的同伴群体会增加他们随后的退学,并降低他们的教育成就和收入。我们的研究结果引起了人们对学生离开的意外后果的关注,并强调了与破坏性同伴的短暂接触如何影响学生的长期轨迹。

Distinction or drawback? Employers’ perceptions of study abroad experience 优点还是缺点?雇主对留学经历的看法
IF 1.8 3区 经济学 Q2 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2026-02-01 Epub Date: 2025-11-18 DOI: 10.1016/j.econedurev.2025.102739

While studying abroad is often assumed to enhance graduates’ job prospects, research offers mixed findings. Furthermore, the existing literature has largely focused on individual outcomes such as graduates’ wages and employment. This paper shifts the focus to the employer perspective by providing large-scale experimental evidence on how study abroad experience impacts hiring intentions. Using an experimental vignette integrated into the Norwegian National Employer Survey (n=8,300), we examine whether employers value study abroad experience and whether attitudes differ by the length of the stay. Our findings show that studying one year abroad does not improve employability, and that applicants with a full degree obtained abroad are considered less employable than applicants with a domestic degree. The negative impact of a full degree from abroad is more pronounced for applicants with foreign-sounding names, linking our contribution to broader debates on foreign education.
虽然人们通常认为出国留学能提高毕业生的就业前景,但研究结果却喜忧参半。此外,现有文献主要关注个人结果,如毕业生的工资和就业。本文通过提供大规模的实验证据,将关注点转移到雇主角度,研究海外留学经历如何影响招聘意向。利用挪威国家雇主调查(n=8,300)中的一个实验小插曲,我们研究了雇主是否重视出国留学经历,以及态度是否因逗留时间的长短而不同。我们的研究结果表明,在国外学习一年并不能提高就业能力,在国外获得完整学位的申请人被认为比在国内获得学位的申请人更不适合就业。对于名字听起来像外国人的申请人来说,海外学位的负面影响更为明显,这将我们的贡献与有关外国教育的更广泛辩论联系起来。

Smart classrooms and education outcomes: Evidence from Rwanda 智能教室与教育成果:来自卢旺达的证据

This study explores the impact of a Smart Classroom (SCM) program on student performance in science subjects on a high-stakes national exam for lower-secondary school students in Rwanda. To do this, we leverage plausibly exogenous variations in program exposure resulting from the staggered implementation of the SCM reform across schools and students. Overall, the study finds a positive effect of the program on student performance. Specifically, we find that the SCM program has positive and significant effects on student performance in physics, biology, and geography, albeit small in magnitude.

本研究探讨了智能课堂(SCM)计划对卢旺达中学生在高风险国家考试中科学科目成绩的影响。为了做到这一点,我们合理地利用了由于跨学校和学生错开实施SCM改革而导致的项目暴露的外生变化。总的来说,研究发现该项目对学生的表现有积极的影响。具体来说,我们发现SCM项目对学生在物理、生物和地理方面的表现有积极而显著的影响,尽管幅度很小。然而,对数学和化学没有影响。我们的研究结果还表明,虽然课堂技术可以促进学习,但这种效果可能只有在长时间接触后才能实现。

Counselors are a common school resource for students navigating complicated and consequential education choices, but most students have limited access to them. We study one of the largest U.S. policies to increase access to school counselors. We use a variety of panel-based estimators to show that California’s Supplemental School Counseling Program increased the number of counselors on staff by about one and improved counselor to student ratios, but reduced average counselor experience. We find that increased funding for counselors led to large increases in high school graduation and measures of school climate. The policy also led to more modest gains in California high school exit exam performance and some public college enrollment rates. These impacts were largest at high poverty and rural schools, as well as for students who were male, socioeconomically disadvantaged, or Black or Hispanic. Thus, expanding access to counselors may help address equity gaps in college access and student well-being.
辅导员是一种常见的学校资源,帮助学生做出复杂而重要的教育选择,但大多数学生接触他们的机会有限。我们研究了美国最大的政策之一,以增加获得学校辅导员的机会。我们使用了各种基于小组的估算方法来显示,加州的补充学校咨询项目增加了大约1名辅导员的数量,提高了辅导员与学生的比例,但却降低了辅导员的平均经验。我们发现,增加对辅导员的资助导致高中毕业率和学校氛围的大幅增加。该政策还导致加州高中毕业考试成绩和一些公立大学入学率略有提高。这些影响在高度贫困和农村学校,以及男性、社会经济弱势、黑人或西班牙裔学生中最大。因此,扩大获得辅导员的机会可能有助于解决大学入学机会和学生福利方面的公平差距。
