摘要

我们利用台湾1978-80年的数据，研究了儿童早期获得自来水对儿童大学入学率的影响。由于自来水的获取由家庭所在县的供水站管理，我们的识别策略依赖于两个地理属性：（i）我们的工具变量是从房子到最近的供水站的距离，以及（ii）我们的样本是居住在县边界的家庭所生的孩子。我们发现，儿童早期获得自来水的机会显著增加了大学入学的概率。

Tap Water Access in Early Childhood and Long-Term Educational Performance

We study the effect of access to tap water in early childhood on children’s university admission using data from Taiwan in the years 1978–80. Because access to tap water is managed by a water operation station in a household’s county, our identification strategy relies on two geographic attributes: (i) our instrumental variable is the distance from the house to the nearest water operation station, and (ii) our sample is of children born to families that live on the border of a county. We find that access to tap water in early childhood significantly increases the probability of university admission.

期刊介绍： Journal of Human Capital is dedicated to human capital and its expanding economic and social roles in the knowledge economy. Developed in response to the central role human capital plays in determining the production, allocation, and distribution of economic resources and in supporting long-term economic growth, JHC is a forum for theoretical and empirical work on human capital—broadly defined to include education, health, entrepreneurship, and intellectual and social capital—and related public policy analyses. JHC encompasses microeconomic, macroeconomic, and international economic perspectives on the theme of human capital. The journal offers a platform for discussion of topics ranging from education, labor, health, and family economics.
