Abstract

We identify and quantify the impact of subways on equalising academic achievement in an urban school choice setting. Specifically, we study the short- and medium-term effects of a massive subway network expansion in Chile on the academic achievement gap between low- and high-performing students. Estimates are derived using fixed-effects models. Closer proximity to the subway network is associated with the equalisation of academic achievements. In the medium-term (3 years after the opening of the subway stations), the gap between low- and high-achievers decreased by 5% of a standard deviation.

交通、学业成就和平均化:来自地铁扩建的证据

我们确定并量化了在城市择校环境中地铁对均衡学业成绩的影响。具体而言，我们研究了智利大规模地铁网络扩张对低绩效和高绩效学生学业成绩差距的短期和中期影响。估计是使用固定效应模型得出的。更接近地铁网络与学术成就的均衡有关。在中期（地铁站开通3年后），低成就者和高成就者之间的差距减少了5%的标准差。

期刊介绍： The aims of the Journal of Economic Geography are to redefine and reinvigorate the intersection between economics and geography, and to provide a world-class journal in the field. The journal is steered by a distinguished team of Editors and an Editorial Board, drawn equally from the two disciplines. It publishes original academic research and discussion of the highest scholarly standard in the field of ''economic geography'' broadly defined. Submitted papers are refereed, and are evaluated on the basis of their creativity, quality of scholarship, and contribution to advancing understanding of the geographic nature of economic systems and global economic change.
