Abstract

We examine the effects of secondary education on cognitive and non-cognitive skills using admission cutoffs to general secondary schools. We measure these skills using the Finnish Defence Forces Basic Skills Test, which, due to compulsory military service, covers the vast majority of Finnish men and serves as a strong predictor of later labor market success. We find that the large differences in the average skills across men that differ in their schooling when entering military service are due to selection rather than causal effects of secondary education on either cognitive or non-cognitive skills.

中等教育对认知和非认知技能的影响

我们利用普通中学的录取分数线来考察中等教育对认知和非认知技能的影响。我们使用芬兰国防军基本技能测试（Finnish Defence Forces Basic Skills Test）来衡量这些技能，由于实行义务兵役制，该测试涵盖了绝大多数芬兰男性，是日后劳动力市场成功与否的有力预测指标。我们发现，不同男性在入伍时的平均技能存在巨大差异，这是由于选择造成的，而不是中学教育对认知或非认知技能的因果效应。
