本文以经合组织（OECD）六个成员国的15岁小学生为研究对象，利用比萨项目（PISA）的识字成绩数据，分析了多兄弟姐妹是否会影响个体的教育结果。我们检验的假设是父母的资源是否对教育结果有影响。如果他们这样做，父母在他们的预算是有限的，兄弟姐妹将竞争的有限的父母资源，从而产生负面影响的教育成果。通过回归家庭中兄弟姐妹数量的识字成绩和直接回归家庭规模的父母资源形式来检验这一假设。我们发现，在所有六个国家的家庭规模显着的影响分析，但我们也发现国家之间的影响显着差异。虽然兄弟姐妹之间的竞争在所有国家都存在，但似乎有些国家能够比其他国家更好地进行补偿，从而在教育系统中实现更高的公平。
In this paper we analyse with the PISA data on literacy achievement of fifteen-year-old pupils in six member countries of the OECD, whether the fact of having many siblings affects the individual educational outcome. The hypothesis that we test is whether parents’ resources matter for educational outcome. If they do and parents are constraint in their budgets, siblings will rival for the limited parental resources and thereby negatively affect educational outcome. The hypothesis is tested by regressing the literacy achievement on the number of siblings within a family and also by regressing directly forms of parental resources on the family size. We find significant family size effects in all six countries analysed but we also find significant differences in the effects between countries. Although sibling rivalry is relevant in all countries, it seems that some countries can compensate better than others and thereby achieve higher equity in the educational system.
