Does it matter when your smartest peers leave your class? Evidence from Hungary
利用匈牙利精英学校地理覆盖不变的特点，研究高成就学生离开普通小学班级对留下的学生成绩、行为和高等教育志向的影响，发现影响适中且存在异质性。
Elite schools in Hungary cherry pick high achieving students from general primary schools. The geographical coverage of elite schools has remained unchanged since 1999, when the establishment of new elite schools stopped. We exploit this geographical variation and estimate the impact of high achieving peers leaving the class on student achievement, behaviour, and aspirations for higher education. Our estimates indicate moderate but heterogeneous effects on those left behind in general primary schools.
