Life-cycle Effects of Age at School Start
利用瑞典儿童出生日期与入学截止日期的关系，研究入学年龄对教育程度和长期劳动力市场结果的影响，发现入学年龄提高教育程度，但对主要年龄段收入无显著影响，仅影响劳动力供给的生命周期分配。
In Sweden, children typically start school the year they turn seven. We combine this school entry cut‐off with individuals' birthdates to estimate effects of school starting age (SSA) on educational attainment and long‐run labour market outcomes. We find that school entry age raises educational attainment and show that postponing tracking until age 16 reduces the effect of SSA on educational attainment. On average, SSA only affects the allocation of labour supply over the life‐cycle and leaves prime‐age earnings unaffected. But for individuals with low‐educated parents, we find that prime‐age earnings increase in response to age at school start.
