Parental Responses to Information about School Quality: Evidence from Linked Survey and Administrative Data
利用英格兰家庭面板数据与学校检查评级行政记录，研究发现家长收到学校质量好消息后会显著减少对子女的时间投入，揭示了家庭与学校投入的互动机制。
Abstract We study the interaction between family and school inputs by identifying the causal impact of information about school quality on parental time investment into children. Inspection ratings provide news that shifts parental beliefs about school quality, and hence investment into children. We study this using household panel data from England, linked to administrative records on school inspection ratings. We find that parents receiving good news over school quality significantly decrease time investment into their children. We provide insights on the distributional and test score impacts of the nationwide inspections regime, through multiple margins of endogenous response of parents and children.
