Race and the Income‐Achievement Gap
利用教育数据与税收记录，研究发现不同种族儿童的收入-成就差距差异显著，东亚儿童差距小，原住民儿童差距大，学校层面因素和特殊需求诊断不平等是部分原因。
Abstract A large literature documents a positive correlation between parental income and child test scores. In this paper, we study whether this relationship, the dependence of the cognitive skills of children on the socioeconomic resources of their parents, varies across race. Using education data linked to tax records, we find that the income‐achievement gap is small for East Asian children while significantly larger for Indigenous children. School‐level factors explains a large portion of the variation in the gap across race. Our results suggest that the large income‐achievement gap for Indigenous students stems partially from inequality in special needs diagnoses.
