Abstract

We study the effect of access to tap water in early childhood on children’s university admission using data from Taiwan in the years 1978–80. Because access to tap water is managed by a water operation station in a household’s county, our identification strategy relies on two geographic attributes: (i) our instrumental variable is the distance from the house to the nearest water operation station, and (ii) our sample is of children born to families that live on the border of a county. We find that access to tap water in early childhood significantly increases the probability of university admission.

儿童早期自来水获取与长期教育表现

我们利用台湾1978-80年的数据，研究了儿童早期获得自来水对儿童大学入学率的影响。由于自来水的获取由家庭所在县的供水站管理，我们的识别策略依赖于两个地理属性：（i）我们的工具变量是从房子到最近的供水站的距离，以及（ii）我们的样本是居住在县边界的家庭所生的孩子。我们发现，儿童早期获得自来水的机会显著增加了大学入学的概率。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
