Behind the veil: the effect of banning the Islamic veil in schools
研究1994年法国学校禁止伊斯兰面纱的政策，发现该禁令显著提高了穆斯林背景女学生的教育成就，并增加了跨族裔婚姻的比例。
Abstract The Islamic veil is a subject of intense controversy in many Western countries. In particular, it remains an open question whether banning the veil in schools prevents female Muslim students from engaging in normal schooling, or whether it is a policy that promotes their integration. We shed light on this question by exploring the effects of the 1994 ministerial circular that required French schools to ban Islamic veils. We show that the ban coincided with a significant improvement in the educational attainment of female students of Muslim origin, as well as a rise in mixed marriages.
