The Long‐Run Educational Cost of World War II
利用奥地利、德国与瑞士、瑞典的对比数据，发现二战期间10岁儿童因教育减少而遭受长期收入损失，并估算了相应的GDP损失。
An important component of the long-run cost of a war is the loss of human capital suffered by school-age children who receive less education. Austrian and German individuals who were 10 years old during the conflict, or were more directly involved through their parents, received less education than comparable individuals from nonwar countries, such as Switzerland and Sweden. We also show that these individuals experienced a sizable earnings loss some 40 years after the war, which can be attributed to the educational loss caused by the conflict. The implied consequences in terms of gross domestic product loss are calculated.
