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. However, no effect was found for mathematics or chemistry. Our results also suggest that, while classroom technology can enhance learning, such effects may only be realized after a long exposure period.
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。

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。

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。

This study examines the influence of students’ ordinal positions in the distribution of grades in their ninth-grade school cohort on subsequent educational and labor market outcomes using population-wide data for Sweden. The identification strategy uses differences between students’ ranks in their school and their ranks in the country-wide ability distribution after conditioning on school-cohort fixed effects and school-level grade distributions. The findings reveal an advantage of occupying a higher rank in school with respect to educational and labor market accomplishments in adulthood, whereas a lower rank yields adverse consequences. Contrary to findings from the United States, no effect is found for students situated in the middle of the rank distribution. This study also shows that ordinal rank effects are more pronounced for students with lower socio-economic status and for female students at the top of their school ability distribution. This study highlights the importance of students’ rank positions in determining their future academic and professional outcomes.
本研究利用瑞典全国人口数据,考察了学生在九年级队列中年级分布的顺序位置对随后的教育和劳动力市场结果的影响。该识别策略在调整学校队列固定效应和校级年级分布后,利用学生在学校的排名与在全国范围内的能力分布排名的差异。研究结果表明,在学校里排名较高的人在成年后的教育和劳动力市场成就方面具有优势,而排名较低的人则会产生不利后果。与美国的研究结果相反,在排名分布的中间位置的学生没有发现任何影响。本研究还显示,对于社会经济地位较低的学生和处于学校能力分布顶端的女学生,序数等级效应更为明显。这项研究强调了学生排名在决定他们未来学术和专业成果方面的重要性。

Schools are often used as temporary shelters during calamities in many places around the world. This may prolong calamity-induced school closures, which may contribute to learning losses. In this study, we combined student assessment data from the Philippine round of the 2019 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) with school administrative records and area-level typhoon warnings to assess the impact of short school closures on learning outcomes. Results show that one school closure day induced by school-as-shelter use depresses student achievement by 12 to 14 percent of a standard deviation, equivalent roughly to as much as a full year’s worth of learning. We find limited evidence that this could be partly driven by a decline in student interest, rather than by a contraction in the breadth of topics covered in class or by poorer teaching quality. These findings highlight potential hidden disasters from seemingly benign but frequent hazards.
在世界上许多地方,学校经常被用作灾害期间的临时避难所。这可能会延长灾害导致的学校关闭时间,从而造成学习损失。在本研究中,我们将2019年国际数学与科学趋势研究(TIMSS)菲律宾轮的学生评估数据与学校行政记录和地区级台风警报相结合,以评估学校短期关闭对学习成果的影响。结果显示,学校作为庇护所导致的一天停课会使学生的成绩下降12%到14%的标准差,大致相当于整整一年的学习价值。我们发现有限的证据表明,这可能部分是由于学生兴趣的下降,而不是由于课堂上涵盖的主题广度的缩小或教学质量的下降。这些发现突出了看似无害但经常发生的危险中潜在的潜在灾难。

Teacher pay in a competitive market: A hedonic wage estimate for charter schools in New Orleans 竞争市场中的教师工资:新奥尔良特许学校的享乐工资估计

We investigate how large-scale expansion of charter schools and deregulation of teacher employment in New Orleans influenced teacher compensation. Decentralized and deregulated teacher hiring by independent charter managers is hypothesized to improve efficiency by aligning teacher incentives with goals for school improvement. In practice, charter schools might lack motivation, resources, or budget flexibility to substantially differentiate pay. The New Orleans Public School System (NOPS) is the only US school district in which the charter sector dominates teacher employment. Using data from a period when the share of teachers employed by charters increased from 70 to nearly 100 percent, we estimate hedonic wage models based on teacher attributes, training and experience, teaching assignments, and individual performance measures. We find mixed evidence regarding the efficiency of charter compensation relative to typical district contracts. At hiring, charters value masters degrees, specialized training, and pre-service work experience but not formal teaching certificates. Starting pay varies with external labor market conditions, and returns to experience are non-linear, with higher gains in early years of employment. Salary gains for teaching challenging courses, improving student proficiency, and test score growth are significant but small, and the use of supplemental pay and performance bonuses is not widespread.
我们调查了新奥尔良特许学校的大规模扩张和教师就业的放松管制对教师薪酬的影响。由独立的特许管理机构去中心化和去监管化的教师招聘被假设为通过将教师激励与学校改进目标相结合来提高效率。在实践中,特许学校可能缺乏动力、资源或预算灵活性来大幅区分薪酬。新奥尔良公立学校系统(NOPS)是美国唯一一个特许部门主导教师就业的学区。利用特许学校聘用的教师比例从70%增加到接近100%的时期的数据,我们基于教师属性、培训和经验、教学任务和个人绩效指标来估计享乐工资模型。我们发现,与典型的地区合同相比,关于包机补偿效率的证据好坏参半。在招聘时,特许学校看重硕士学位、专业培训和职前工作经验,而不是正式的教师证书。起薪随外部劳动力市场条件的变化而变化,经验回报是非线性的,在就业的最初几年收益较高。教授具有挑战性的课程、提高学生的熟练程度和考试成绩的增长带来的工资增长显著但很小,而且补充工资和绩效奖金的使用并不普遍。

Rethinking student loan design: Evidence from a price-based reform in Chilean higher education 重新思考学生贷款设计:来自智利高等教育价格基础改革的证据

This paper examines the effects of a major 2012 student loan reform in Chile that reduced interest rates from 6% to 2% and introduced more flexible repayment terms. Unlike studies of initial loan implementation, this reform offers a rare opportunity to examine how changes in the cost of borrowing affect enrollment decisions among already-eligible students. Using rich administrative data and a difference-in-differences design, we estimate the effects of the reform on immediate enrollment, second-year enrollment, and second-year dropout. To strengthen causal inference, we complement our strategy with a difference-in-discontinuities approach that leverages eligibility thresholds. We find a compositional shift in immediate enrollment: university enrollment increases by 2.5 percentage points, offset by an equal decline in vocational institutions, with no effect on overall enrollment. This shift persists into second-year outcomes, where university students exhibit slightly higher dropout and vocational students show improved persistence. These effects are concentrated among students from voucher schools and are absent among students from public schools, likely due to persistent academic and financial constraints. We also find that overall enrollment declines for female students, which may reflect greater risk aversion in response to uncertainty. These findings shed light on how price-based reforms to student loan programs can generate unequal responses across student groups and institutional sectors, offering valuable lessons for the design of equitable higher education financing.
本文考察了2012年智利学生贷款重大改革的影响,该改革将利率从6%降至2%,并引入了更灵活的还款条款。与对初始贷款实施的研究不同,这项改革提供了一个难得的机会,可以研究借贷成本的变化如何影响已经符合条件的学生的入学决定。利用丰富的行政数据和差异中之差设计,我们估计了改革对立即入学、第二年入学和第二年辍学的影响。为了加强因果推理,我们用一种利用资格阈值的不连续性差异方法来补充我们的策略。我们发现直接入学的构成发生了变化:大学入学人数增加了2.5个百分点,被职业院校入学人数的同样下降所抵消,但对总体入学人数没有影响。这种转变持续到第二年的结果,大学学生的辍学率略高,而职业学生的坚持程度有所提高。这些影响主要集中在代金券学校的学生身上,而在公立学校的学生身上则没有,可能是由于持续的学术和财政限制。我们还发现,女生的总体入学率下降,这可能反映了对不确定性的更大风险厌恶。这些发现揭示了以价格为基础的学生贷款项目改革如何在学生群体和机构部门之间产生不平等的反应,为设计公平的高等教育融资提供了宝贵的经验。

Gender disparities in STEM field participation persist widely across all levels. This study examines whether signals about academic aptitude influence participation in STEM fields. We draw on 10 years of administrative data on aptitude tests administered by a private university in Peru to approximately 3,000 high school students annually. Prior to taking the exam, students indicate their non-binding preferences for college majors. Admission to majors is based on cutoff scores on the exam. Using a regression discontinuity design, we find that among students whose preferred major was not engineering, meeting the engineering math cutoff increases the probability of enrolling in engineering by 10–12 percentage points. These effects are particularly strong and statistically significant for female students. We also find evidence that the signal had a positive effect on graduation from engineering. Our results highlight the importance of external validation in shaping career decisions and carry important policy implications.
STEM领域参与的性别差异在各个层面普遍存在。本研究探讨学术能力的信号是否会影响STEM领域的参与。我们利用秘鲁一所私立大学10年来每年对大约3000名高中生进行的能力倾向测试的行政数据。在参加考试之前,学生们表明他们对大学专业的非约束性偏好。专业录取是以考试的分数线为基础的。使用回归不连续设计,我们发现,在那些首选专业不是工程的学生中,满足工程数学的临界值会使他们进入工程专业的概率增加10-12个百分点。这些影响在女学生中表现得尤为明显。我们还发现有证据表明,信号对工程毕业有积极的影响。我们的研究结果强调了外部验证在塑造职业决策中的重要性,并具有重要的政策含义。

This paper evaluates the effectiveness of “Financial Education in School”, a comprehensive financial education program implemented by the Bank of Italy across primary and secondary schools nationwide. The initiative combines teacher training, tailored educational materials, and interactive classroom activities to embed financial literacy into the curriculum. Drawing on two randomized controlled trials with more than 1500 students in grades 5 and 8, we report three main findings. First, teacher-led instruction significantly improves financial knowledge, with large effect sizes of 0.54 and 0.66 standard deviations for grade 5 and grade 8, respectively. Second, distributing self-study booklets without guided lessons has no average effect, except among socioeconomically advantaged students. Third, while overall impacts on financial attitudes are limited, teacher-led instruction fosters greater willingness to delay immediate rewards (patience) among younger pupils and supports disadvantaged students in developing more future-oriented saving preferences. Overall, the results highlight the central role of schools and teachers in delivering effective and equitable financial education.
本文评估了意大利银行在全国中小学实施的综合金融教育项目“学校金融教育”的有效性。该计划结合教师培训、量身定制的教育材料和互动式课堂活动,将金融知识融入课程。通过对1500多名五年级和八年级学生进行的两项随机对照试验,我们报告了三个主要发现。首先,教师主导教学显著提高了学生的金融知识水平,五年级和八年级的效应量分别为0.54和0.66标准差。其次,除了社会经济条件优越的学生之外,分发没有指导课程的自学小册子的效果并不平均。第三,虽然对财务态度的总体影响有限,但教师主导的教学在低年级学生中培养了更大的延迟即时回报(耐心)的意愿,并支持弱势学生发展更多面向未来的储蓄偏好。总体而言,结果突出了学校和教师在提供有效和公平的金融教育方面的核心作用。
