How educational choices respond to large labor market shocks: Evidence from a natural experiment
利用以色列劳动力市场关闭作为大规模冲击，研究其对巴勒斯坦青年教育选择的影响，发现劳动力需求冲击降低了上学的机会成本，从而减少了男性高中辍学率。
This paper uses the closure of the Israeli labor market as a large labor market shock and examines its impact on Palestinian youths' educational choices. The sudden closure denied thousands of Palestinian workers, mostly low-skilled males, access to the Israeli labor market. We provide evidence that the conflict-induced labor demand shock reduced the opportunity cost of attending school and consequently, male students' high school dropout rates.
