摘要

在南非种族隔离期间，黑人被迫在20世纪60年代和70年代搬回家园，导致历史上最大的种族隔离政策实验之一。我们研究了移居家乡如何以及为什么会影响人力资本的获得。利用跨队列识别策略中建立家园的交错时间，我们发现在童年时期移居家乡显著降低了受教育程度、劳动收入和成年后的就业率。数据表明，地点效应起着重要作用。在童年时期移居家乡意味着更多地接触较贫穷的社区，这不成比例地减少了人力资本的获得。(j26, j15, j24, j31, n37, o15, r23)

Moved to Poverty? A Legacy of the Apartheid Experiment in South Africa

During the South African apartheid, Black people were forced to move to homelands during the 1960s and 1970s, resulting in one of history’s largest segregation policy experiments. We examine how and why relocation to the homelands affected human capital attainment. Exploiting the staggered timing of homeland establishment in a cross-cohort identification strategy, we find that moving to the home-lands during childhood significantly reduces educational attainment, labor earnings, and employment rates in adulthood. The data suggest an important role for place effects. Moving to the homelands in childhood implies greater exposure to poorer neighborhoods, and it disproportionally reduces human capital attainment.
