Using Siblings to Estimate the Effect of School Quality on Wages
利用兄弟姐妹间学校特征的差异,估计学校投入对工资的影响,发现教师工资、生均支出等指标对高中毕业生工资有显著正向作用。
In this paper, the authors use the variance across siblings in school characteristics to estimate the effects of school inputs on wages. The analysis uses sibling pairs from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Labor Market Experience of Young Men and Young Women. They find that teachers' salary, expenditures per pupil, and a composite index of school quality indicators have a substantial positive effect on the wages of high school graduates.
