Does Increasing Women's Schooling Raise the Schooling of the Next Generation? Comment
评论Behrman和Rosenzweig(2002)关于女性教育对下一代教育影响的结论,指出其结果对编码方案和样本选择规则不稳健,政策推论可能有误。
“Does increasing women's schooling raise the schooling of the next generation?” is the question posed by Jere R. Behrman and Mark R. Rosenzweig (2002). Their answer to the question is no. In fact, they conclude that raising women's schooling may lower the schooling of the next generation. We show that Behrman and Rosenzweig's results are not robust to alternative coding schemes and sample selection rules, and argue that their policy inference may be misguided.
