摘要

本研究利用中国农村地区的数据估计了儿童早期看电视对随后认知结果的影响。本研究利用村一级电视接入年份和儿童出生年份的变化，采用了Wooldridge（2021）引入的扩展双向固定效应（ETWFE）方法。对交错治疗的基线估计表明，在儿童早期（0-5岁）充分接触电视，10-15岁的认知得分显著提高。此外，有暗示的证据表明，这种影响可以解释为电视通过直接渠道提高一般知识水平。

Television exposure in early childhood and subsequent cognitive outcomes: Evidence from rural China

This study estimates the effect of television exposure in early childhood on subsequent cognitive outcomes using data from rural China. Exploiting the variations in the year of television access at the village level and children’s birth year, this study employs an extended two-way fixed effects (ETWFE) approach introduced by Wooldridge (2021). Baseline estimates, which are robust to staggered treatments, show that cognitive scores at ages 10–15 are significantly improved by full television exposure in early childhood (ages 0-5). Furthermore, there is suggestive evidence that this effect could be explained by the direct channel through which television enhances general knowledge level.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization is devoted to theoretical and empirical research concerning economic decision, organization and behavior and to economic change in all its aspects. Its specific purposes are to foster an improved understanding of how human cognitive, computational and informational characteristics influence the working of economic organizations and market economies and how an economy structural features lead to various types of micro and macro behavior, to changing patterns of development and to institutional evolution. Research with these purposes that explore the interrelations of economics with other disciplines such as biology, psychology, law, anthropology, sociology and mathematics is particularly welcome.
