摘要

我们表明，第一次全国性的大规模麻疹疫苗接种运动提高了美国的教育程度。我们的经验策略利用了各州在1967-68年消灭麻疹运动之前接触麻疹的差异，该运动在两年内将报告的麻疹发病率降低了90%。我们的研究结果表明，大规模接种麻疹疫苗使受影响人群的平均受教育年限增加了约0.1年。我们还发现了男性大学毕业率上升的初步证据。

Mass vaccination and educational attainment: Evidence from the 1967–68 Measles Eradication Campaign

We show that the first nationwide mass vaccination campaign against measles increased educational attainment in the United States. Our empirical strategy exploits variation in exposure to the childhood disease across states right before the Measles Eradication Campaign of 1967–68, which reduced reported measles incidence by 90 percent within two years. Our results suggest that mass vaccination against measles increased the years of education on average by about 0.1 years in the affected cohorts. We also find tentative evidence that the college graduation rate of men increased.
