The Effects of World War II Military Service: Evidence from Australia
利用澳大利亚战时征兵和朝鲜战争参与少导致的兵役率差异，发现二战服役对就业有短暂负面影响，但显著提升非大学学历教育，并因住房补贴降低完全自有住房率，对婚姻有正面影响。
Outside of the United States, few studies have estimated the effects of World War II service. In Australia, general war-time conscription and minimal involvement in the Korean War led to large cohort differences in military service rates, which we use for identification. We find a small, temporary negative effect on employment and a substantial positive effect on post-school qualifications, but not at the university level. While service increased home ownership slightly, it greatly reduced outright home ownership, consistent with the incentives provided by veterans' housing benefits. We also find a positive effect on marriage, but only from 1971.
