这篇论文估计了延迟入学对学生成绩的影响，使用了智利学生的行政数据，包括确切的出生日期。基于入学截止值的回归不连续性估计表明，延迟一年会使一年级留级的概率降低两个百分点，并使四年级和八年级的考试成绩提高0.3个标准差以上，对男孩的影响更大。本文最后提出了对入学年龄政策的影响。
The paper estimates the effect of delayed school enrollment on student outcomes, using administrative data on Chilean students that include exact birth dates. Regression-discontinuity estimates, based on enrollment cutoffs, show that a one-year delay decreases the probability of repeating first grade by two percentage points, and increases fourth and eighth grade test scores by more than 0.3 standard deviations, with larger effects for boys. The paper concludes with implications for enrollment age policy.
