Interactions between Family and School Environments
利用罗马尼亚数据，研究父母因堕胎权而改善的家庭环境是否放大了优质学校对子女高考成绩的正面影响，发现两者可替代而非互补。
<h3>Abstract</h3> We use Romanian data to ask whether the benefit of access to better schools is larger for children who experienced better family environments because their parents had access to abortion. We combine regression discontinuity and differences-in-differences designs to estimate impacts on a high-stakes school-leaving exam. We find that access to abortion and access to better schools each have positive impacts but find no consistent evidence of interactions between these impacts. To the extent a pattern emerges, it is suggestive of substitutability rather than complementarity of family and school environments.
