Abstract

We estimate the transmission of higher education across generations using the arrival of the Pinochet dictatorship to Chile in 1973 as natural experiment. Pinochet promoted a large contraction in the number of seats available for new students across all universities. Using census data, we find that parents who reached college age shortly after 1973 experienced a sharp decline in college enrollment. Decades after democratization, we observe that their children are also less likely to enroll in higher education. The results imply large and persistent downstream effects of educational policies over more than half a century.

高等教育的代际传承:来自1973年智利政变的证据

我们以1973年皮诺切特独裁统治的到来作为自然实验来估计高等教育在几代人之间的传播。皮诺切特推动了所有大学新生入学名额的大幅缩减。利用人口普查数据，我们发现1973年后不久达到上大学年龄的父母在大学入学率上急剧下降。民主化几十年后，我们观察到他们的孩子也不太可能接受高等教育。研究结果表明，半个多世纪以来，教育政策产生了巨大而持久的下游效应。
