本文利用英国全国儿童发展调查（NCDS）研究了学生与教师比例和学校类型对教育程度和工资的影响。NCDS是一项跟踪调查，追踪了1958年3月出生的一组人，并记录了他们一生中丰富的背景变量。结果表明。一旦我们控制了能力和背景，学生与教师的比例对教育资格或男子的工资没有影响。这对33岁以上妇女的工资产生了影响，特别是那些能力低下的妇女。我们还发现，有证据表明，那些上重点学校的人有更好的教育成果，就男性而言，33岁时的工资更高。对于那些不太可能上名牌学校，但在这些学校中确实存在比较群体的人来说，这种影响更大。
The paper examines the effects of pupil-teacher ratios and type of school on educational attainment and wages using the British National Child Development Survey (NCDS). The NCDS is a panel survey that follows a cohort of individuals born in March 1958 and has a rich set of background variables recorded throughout the individuals' lives. The results suggest that. once we control for ability and fan-lily background, the pupil-teacher ratio has no impact on educational qualifications or on men's wages. It has an impact on women's wages at the age of 33, particularly those of low ability. We also find evidence that those who attend selective schools have better educational outcomes and, in the case of men, higher wages at the age of 33. The impact is greater for the type of individuals who are less likely to attend selective schools but for whom a comparison group does exist among those attending.
