摘要

父母在决定孩子的教育时考虑到孩子的能力了吗？如果是这样，父母的看法准确吗？我们通过分析一个关键的教育决策来研究这个问题。父母决定是否让孩子提前一年上小学。他们会选择高能力的孩子早点开始吗？我们提出了一种新的方法来识别早期开始的选择的标志和强度。我们找到了积极选择的有力证据。如果他们有规律地开始学习，那么早开始学习的学生的考试成绩将比普通学生高出0.2个标准差。我们还估计了早开始对考试成绩的影响，并发现这种影响是异质性的。

Parental love is not blind: Identifying selection into early school start

Do parents take into account their children’s ability when deciding on their education? If so, are parents’ perceptions accurate? We study this by analyzing a key educational decision. Parents choose whether their children start elementary school one year early. Do they select high-ability children to start early? We propose a novel methodology to identify the sign and strength of selection into early starting. We find robust evidence of positive selection. Had they started regularly, early starters would have obtained test scores 0.2 standard deviations higher than the average student. We also estimate the effect of early starting on test scores and find that the effect is heterogeneous.
