摘要

在本文中,我们研究了高速互联网接入对学生成绩的影响。我们的实证分析利用了一个独特的数据集,该数据集将意大利超宽带(UBB)的推广信息与 2012-2017 年间二年级、五年级和八年级学生的成绩数据相结合。我们利用了从 2015 年开始交错推出的超宽带。通过事件研究法,我们发现了学生成绩与 UBB 推广之间存在内生性的证据。我们通过工具变量法解决了这一问题,该方法利用了 UBB 基本输入传播中看似外生的变化。我们的研究结果表明,先进的互联网连接大大降低了八年级学生的数学和意大利语成绩。相比之下,我们在二年级和五年级没有发现任何明显的影响。父母教育背景较低的男生受到的不利影响更大,尤其是在信息技术使用率较低的学校就读的男生。

The faster the better? Advanced internet access and student performance

In this paper, we study the impact of high-speed internet access on student performance. Our empirical analysis leverages a unique dataset that combines information on ultra-broadband (UBB) diffusion in Italy with data on student performance in 2nd, 5th, and 8th grades for the period 2012–2017. We exploit the staggered roll-out of UBB, starting from 2015. Through an event study approach, we find evidence of endogeneity between student performance and UBB diffusion. We deal with this issue through an instrumental variable approach that exploits plausibly exogenous variation in the diffusion of the essential UBB input. Our results suggest that advanced internet connections significantly decrease student performance in Mathematics and Italian language in the 8th grade. In contrast, we do not find any significant effect in the 2nd and 5th grades. Male students from low-educated parental backgrounds are those more adversely affected, especially if they attend schools with a low IT usage.
