摘要

我们使用回归不连续性设计估计了土耳其义务教育从5年延长到8年对少女婚姻和出生结果的影响。这项法律使女孩的受教育时间平均增加约1年，大大降低了16岁结婚和17岁首次生育的可能性。这些影响在17岁结婚和18岁首次生育后消失。这些结果表明，这项法律在新规定的年份具有很强的强制出勤效应，之后对婚姻和生育结果具有人力资本效应。然而，几年后，当学生可以自由离开学校时，人力资本效应就消失了。

The Effects of Compulsory-Schooling Laws on Teenage Marriage and Births in Turkey

We estimate the effects of the extension of compulsory schooling from 5 to 8 years in Turkey on marriage and birth outcomes of teenage girls, using a regression discontinuity design. This law increases girls’ schooling by roughly 1 year on average, substantially reducing the probability of marriage by age 16 and first birth by age 17. These effects disappear after ages 17 for marriage and 18 for first birth. These results suggest that this law has strong compulsory-attendance effects during the newly mandated years and human capital effects afterward on marriage and birth outcomes. However, the human capital effects vanish after a couple of years, when students become free to leave school.

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.
