Abstract

We present the first quantitative analysis of the impact of ending de jure segregation of Mexican American schoolchildren in the United States by examining the effects of the 1947 Mendez v. Westminster court decision on long-run educational attainment for Hispanics and non-Hispanic Whites in California. Our identification strategy relies on comparing individuals across California counties that vary in their likelihood of segregating and across birth cohorts that vary in their exposure to the Mendez court ruling based on school start age. Results point to a significant increase in educational attainment for Hispanics who were fully exposed to school desegregation. (JEL H75, I24, J13, J15, K10, N32, R23)
墨西哥裔美国人学校废除种族隔离的长期影响
我们通过考察1947年门德斯诉威斯敏斯特法院判决对加州西班牙裔和非西班牙裔白人长期受教育程度的影响,首次对终止在美国墨西哥裔美国学童法律上的隔离所产生的影响进行了定量分析。我们的识别策略依赖于比较加州各县的个体,这些县的隔离可能性各不相同,并且根据入学年龄,对门德斯法院裁决的影响也各不相同。结果表明,完全接触到学校废除种族隔离的西班牙裔人的受教育程度显著提高。(jel h75, i24, j13, j15, k10, n32, r23)
