Estimation of an Education Production Function under Random Assignment with Selection
利用韩国首尔高中随机分配数据,估计学校层面的教育生产函数,发现单性别学校效应远大于以往研究。
This paper estimates an education production function using data on the College Scholastic Ability Test score and high school characteristics from Seoul, Korea, where, on entering high school, students are randomly assigned to schools within each school district. We derive a school production function by aggregating the individuals' potential outcomes under the random assignment and no cohort effect assumption. We find that the school production function coefficients differ between districts and that the single-sex school effect estimate is much larger than that found in previous studies.
