We estimate the impact of a large curriculum reform in Switzerland that substantially increased the share of foreign language classes in compulsory school on students’ subsequent educational choices in upper secondary school. Our analysis focuses on students from German-speaking cantons that introduced English as the first foreign language. Using detailed student register data and exploiting the staggered implementation of the curriculum reform, we find that exposure to more foreign language classes has only minor effects on educational trajectories of the overall student population. However, we find substantial effect heterogeneity: while the reform has no effect on the direct educational progression of low-track female or high-track students, it impedes low-track male students’ transition to upper secondary education.
我们估计了瑞士大规模课程改革的影响,该改革大幅增加了义务教育学校外语课程的份额,对学生随后在高中的教育选择产生了影响。我们的分析重点是来自德语州的学生,这些州将英语作为第一外语。利用详细的学生注册数据并利用课程改革的交错实施,我们发现接触更多的外语课程对整个学生群体的教育轨迹只有很小的影响。然而,我们发现了实质性的效应异质性:改革对低轨女学生和高轨男学生的直接升学没有影响,但阻碍了低轨男学生向高中教育的过渡。

We examine student satisfaction and performance in online versus in-person sections at a large research university in the United States, exploring whether observed gaps are inherent to online instruction or can be mitigated with increased teaching experience. Using administrative data from over 40,000 course sections taught over eight years, we find that students evaluate online courses as worse than in-person courses, despite minimal differences in performance. This gap persists even when restricting the sample to courses taught using both modalities by the same professor in the same semester, and after matching on observable student characteristics. Lower evaluations are primarily driven by student perceptions of instructor availability, concern for students, and the ability to stimulate interest in the course. Although teaching experience improves evaluations in online sections, the gap between modes remains, suggesting fundamental challenges in online instruction beyond technological familiarity.
我们研究了美国一所大型研究型大学的学生在在线和面对面部分的满意度和表现,探索观察到的差距是在线教学固有的还是可以通过增加教学经验来缓解。通过对8年来教授的4万多个课程的管理数据进行分析,我们发现,学生对在线课程的评价比面对面课程差,尽管在表现上存在很小的差异。即使将样本限制为同一教授在同一学期使用两种模式教授的课程,并且在匹配可观察到的学生特征之后,这种差距仍然存在。较低的评价主要是由学生对教师可用性的看法、对学生的关心以及激发学生对课程兴趣的能力所驱动的。尽管教学经验改善了在线部分的评估,但模式之间的差距仍然存在,这表明在线教学面临着技术熟悉之外的根本挑战。

The labour market returns to graduation: reconciling administrative and survey data estimates 劳动力市场回归毕业:调和行政和调查数据估计
IF 1.8 3区 经济学 Q2 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2025-10-01 Epub Date: 2025-08-14 DOI: 10.1016/j.econedurev.2025.102701

This paper contributes to the literature on the earnings returns to university graduation. Recent evidence using administrative earnings data from England suggests a zero return to graduation for men and positive returns to graduation for women in annual earnings at age 26. We show that once hours worked are taken into account – typically not available in administrative tax data – returns to graduation in hourly wages are considerably smaller for women than returns in annual wages at this age. Graduate women work more hours than comparable non-graduate women; thus, not taking hours worked into account leads to overestimating returns to graduation for women by more than two-fold. This highlights the importance of using both survey and administrative data sources when estimating the returns to university graduation.
本文对大学毕业后的收入回报进行了文献分析。最近使用英国行政收入数据的证据表明,在26岁时,男性毕业后的年收入回报为零,而女性毕业后的年收入回报为正。我们的研究表明,一旦将工作时间考虑在内(通常在行政税收数据中无法获得),女性毕业时的小时工资回报要远远低于该年龄段的年收入回报。大学毕业的女性比同等学历的女性工作时间更长;因此,如果不把工作时间考虑在内,就会把女性的毕业回报高估两倍以上。这突出了在估计大学毕业回报率时同时使用调查和行政数据来源的重要性。

Using administrative data from England, we estimate the effect of home broadband speed on student-level value-added test scores. Our primary estimation leverages jumps in connection quality between close neighbors across thousands of invisible telephone exchange station catchment area boundaries. We find that home broadband speed has positive effects on general measures of human capital, with these effects concentrated among high-ability students and those not eligible for free school meals. These positive outcomes result from more education-oriented internet use. However, these effects are observed only for students who attend schools with faster broadband connections. Our study documents a complementarity between home and school technology in relation to general measures of human capital. Policies introducing new learning technologies should take this complementarity into account.
使用来自英国的行政数据,我们估计了家庭宽带速度对学生水平增值测试成绩的影响。我们的初步估计利用了跨越数千个无形电话交换站集水区边界的近邻之间连接质量的跳跃。我们发现,家庭宽带速度对人力资本的一般衡量指标有积极影响,这些影响集中在高能力学生和没有资格享受免费校餐的学生中。这些积极的结果源于更多以教育为导向的互联网使用。然而,这些影响只观察到那些在宽带连接更快的学校上学的学生。我们的研究记录了家庭和学校技术在人力资本的一般衡量标准方面的互补性。引进新学习技术的政策应考虑到这种互补性。

The attraction of magnet schools: Evidence from embedded lotteries in school assignment 磁石学校的吸引力:来自学校分配中嵌入彩票的证据
IF 1.8 3区 经济学 Q2 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2025-08-01 Epub Date: 2025-07-08 DOI: 10.1016/j.econedurev.2025.102663

Magnet schools provide innovative curricula designed to attract students from other schools within a school district, typically with the joint goals of diversifying enrollment and boosting achievement. Measuring the impact of attending a magnet school is challenging because students choose to apply and schools have priorities over types of students. Moreover, magnet schools may influence non-cognitive skill formation that is not well-reflected in test scores. This study estimates the causal impact of attending a magnet school on student outcomes by leveraging exogenous variation arising from tie breakers embedded in a centralized school assignment mechanism. Using a rich set of administrative data from a large school district, we find robust evidence that attending a magnet school significantly increases student engagement, as measured through absenteeism and on-time progress rates. Students are significantly less likely to change schools when attending a magnet. We find suggestive evidence that attending a magnet school led to higher performance in mathematics and that attending non-language immersion magnet schools increased students’ reading scores. Together, these results suggest that magnet schools — a typically understudied school choice option — can benefit student learning and increase student engagement while enabling the system to achieve its goals of promoting racial and socioeconomic balance through school choice.
磁铁学校提供创新的课程,旨在吸引学区内其他学校的学生,通常具有多样化招生和提高成绩的共同目标。衡量进入名牌学校的影响是具有挑战性的,因为学生选择申请,学校对学生的类型有优先考虑。此外,磁铁学校可能会影响非认知技能的形成,这在考试成绩中没有很好地反映出来。本研究通过利用集中式学校分配机制中由平局决定因素引起的外生变化,估计了上磁极学校对学生成绩的因果影响。利用来自一个大型学区的丰富的行政数据,我们发现了强有力的证据,表明通过缺勤率和准时进长率来衡量,上有吸引力的学校显著提高了学生的参与度。在磁铁学校就读时,学生换学校的可能性明显降低。我们发现有启发性的证据表明,上有吸引力的学校会提高学生的数学成绩,而上无语言沉浸式有吸引力的学校会提高学生的阅读成绩。总之,这些结果表明,磁铁学校——一个典型的未被充分研究的择校选项——可以使学生的学习受益,提高学生的参与度,同时使系统能够实现通过择校促进种族和社会经济平衡的目标。

Labour market effects of work-related continuous education in Switzerland – evidence from administrative data 瑞士工作相关继续教育对劳动力市场的影响——来自行政数据的证据

This paper presents the first longitudinal estimates of the effect of work-related training on labour market outcomes in Switzerland. Using a novel dataset that links official census data on adult education to longitudinal register data on labour market outcomes, we apply a regression-adjusted matched difference-in-differences approach with entropy balancing to account for selection bias and sorting. We find that training participation increases yearly earnings and reduces the risk of unemployment two and three years after the treatment. The effects are heterogeneous as to age, education, and income position, whereby people in the lowest income tercile benefit most from income increases, while the dampening effect on unemployment is more pronounced for those in the highest income tercile.
本文提出了与工作相关的培训对瑞士劳动力市场结果影响的第一个纵向估计。我们使用一个新颖的数据集,将成人教育的官方人口普查数据与劳动力市场结果的纵向登记数据联系起来,采用回归调整匹配差异中的差异方法和熵平衡来解释选择偏差和排序。我们发现参加培训增加了年收入,并降低了治疗后两到三年内失业的风险。这种影响在年龄、教育程度和收入地位上是不同的,收入最低的人群从收入增加中受益最多,而对失业的抑制作用在收入最高的人群中更为明显。

We examine the impact of school closures and the transition to online learning on the average learning outcomes of Australian children. Using longitudinal data on annual school-level performance in standardized assessments across five subjects and four grade levels, we analyse trends over 14 years (2008–2022, excluding 2020) for all Australian schools. Our analysis compares regions with varying levels of disruption to face-to-face teaching. Our findings indicate that COVID-related school closures led to a 0.17σ decline in standardized test scores (all-subject average). This decline occurs both in primary and secondary grades, affecting language and numeracy skills. The negative effects persist for at least three years after schools resumed in-person teaching. Heterogeneity analyses reveal that students from relatively advantaged background, who potentially made better use of the school inputs, suffered more. Additionally, we find (i) school closures reduced learning disparities among secondary school students attending the same school as well as across secondary schools in a region, (ii) schools with higher teacher–student ratios were better able to mitigate the negative effects of closures, and (iii) government income support helped alleviate the adverse impact of school closures on student learning.
我们研究了学校关闭和向在线学习过渡对澳大利亚儿童平均学习成果的影响。我们利用5个学科和4个年级标准化评估中年度学校水平表现的纵向数据,分析了所有澳大利亚学校14年来(2008-2022年,不包括2020年)的趋势。我们的分析比较了面对面教学受到不同程度干扰的地区。我们的研究结果表明,与covid相关的学校关闭导致标准化考试成绩(所有科目平均成绩)下降0.17σ。这种下降发生在小学和中学,影响语言和计算技能。在学校恢复面对面教学后,负面影响至少会持续三年。异质性分析显示,来自相对有利背景的学生,可能更好地利用学校的投入,遭受更多。此外,我们发现(i)学校关闭减少了同一所学校的中学生之间以及一个地区的中学之间的学习差异,(ii)师生比例较高的学校能够更好地减轻关闭的负面影响,以及(iii)政府收入支持有助于减轻学校关闭对学生学习的不利影响。

The impact of work-based versus school-based learning on cognitive and non-cognitive outcomes in vocational secondary education 以工作为基础与以学校为基础的学习对职业中等教育认知和非认知结果的影响
IF 1.8 3区 经济学 Q2 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2025-08-01 Epub Date: 2025-06-05 DOI: 10.1016/j.econedurev.2025.102673

We investigate how work-based versus school-based learning impacts students’ cognitive (numeracy, literacy) and non-cognitive outcomes (student motivation, engagement, academic self-concept, well-being) in vocational secondary education. To this end, we exploit longitudinal test score and survey data on a cohort of Belgian pupils. We rely on school-field-of-study fixed effects, (non-)cognitive test scores in the preceding grades, and detailed background characteristics to remove the bias resulting from self-selection into educational programmes. Within the technical track aimed at preparing students both for the labour market and further education, we find the effects of substituting school-based for work-based learning on both cognitive and non-cognitive outcomes to be negative. Within the purely vocational track, by contrast, effects seem to be more mixed and to depend on the outcome and amount of workplace learning. These results are consistent with cognitive and non-cognitive outcomes being crucial mechanisms underlying the effects of work-based programmes on educational and labour market career outcomes.
我们调查了在职业中等教育中,以工作为基础的学习与以学校为基础的学习如何影响学生的认知(算术、识字)和非认知结果(学生动机、参与、学术自我概念、幸福感)。为此,我们利用纵向测试成绩和调查数据对一群比利时学生。我们依靠学校研究领域的固定效应、前一年级的(非)认知测试成绩和详细的背景特征来消除因自我选择进入教育计划而产生的偏见。在旨在为学生准备劳动力市场和继续教育的技术轨道中,我们发现以学校为基础的学习取代以工作为基础的学习对认知和非认知结果的影响都是负面的。相比之下,在纯粹的职业道路上,影响似乎更加复杂,取决于工作场所学习的结果和数量。这些结果与认知和非认知结果是基于工作的计划对教育和劳动力市场职业结果影响的关键机制相一致。

Why do parents underinvest in their children’s education? Evidence from China 为什么父母对孩子的教育投资不足?来自中国的证据
IF 1.8 3区 经济学 Q2 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2025-08-01 Epub Date: 2025-07-08 DOI: 10.1016/j.econedurev.2025.102676

In this paper we study whether the presence of financial constraints that limit parents’ ability to borrow and the existence of educational fixed costs can explain the underinvestment of parents in their children’s human capital. We first incorporate these two potential mechanisms into the theoretical model of Raut and Tran (2005) and then we test their empirical relevance using data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). Our results support the idea that especially fixed costs play an important role in explaining human capital underinvestment.
在本文中,我们研究了限制父母借贷能力的财务约束和教育固定成本的存在是否可以解释父母对子女人力资本的投资不足。我们首先将这两种潜在机制纳入Raut和Tran(2005)的理论模型中,然后使用中国健康与退休纵向研究(CHARLS)的数据检验其实证相关性。我们的研究结果支持了固定成本在解释人力资本投资不足方面发挥重要作用的观点。

This study examines the impact of reducing language barriers on educational outcomes in the state of West Bengal, India. Specifically, we analyze the effects of a policy reform that introduced question papers in Hindi for all subjects in grades 11 and 12 higher secondary examinations, aimed at supporting students in schools with Hindi as the language of instruction. Using school-level administrative data, we employ a difference-in-differences estimation strategy to identify the causal effects of the intervention on grade repetition and grade enrollment. Our findings reveal that the policy led to a decline in the share of repeaters and an increase in enrollment. This finding bears significant policy implications, particularly in educational settings where there is a mismatch between the language of instruction and the language used for assessment.
本研究考察了印度西孟加拉邦减少语言障碍对教育成果的影响。具体来说,我们分析了一项政策改革的影响,该政策改革在11年级和12年级的高中考试中为所有科目引入了印地语试题,旨在支持以印地语为教学语言的学校的学生。使用学校层面的行政数据,我们采用差异中差估计策略来确定干预对年级重复和年级入学的因果影响。我们的研究结果表明,该政策导致重复者的份额下降,入学人数增加。这一发现具有重要的政策意义,特别是在教学语言和用于评估的语言不匹配的教育环境中。
