农村学生和城市学生在高中录取率方面仍然存在很大差距。造成这一差距的原因之一可能是高中阶段高昂的学杂费和其他学费。通过降低学生上高中的期望值，高昂的学费和学费可能会降低学生在初中的学习成绩。在这篇文章中，我们评估了高中学费减免计划对中国农村贫困七年级学生考试成绩的影响。我们调查了陕西省的三个县，发现虽然这三个县毗邻并有相似的特点，但只有一个县实施了学费减免计划。使用差异法(DD)、差异法(DDD)、倾向性分数匹配法(PSM)和差异无差法(DDM)等不同的估计策略，我们发现学费计划对七年级学生的数学成绩有显著的正向影响。更重要的是，这项计划被证明对最贫困的学生有最大的(也是唯一重要的)影响。
A significant gap remains between rural and urban students in the rate of admission to senior high school. One reason for this gap may be high tuition and other school fees at the senior high school level. By reducing student expectations of attending high school, high tuition and school fees can reduce student academic performance in junior high school. In this paper we evaluate the impact of a senior high tuition relief program on the test scores of poor, rural seventh grade students in China. We surveyed three counties in Shaanxi Province and exploit the fact that, while the counties are adjacent to one another and share similar characteristics, only one of the three implemented a tuition relief program. Using several alternative estimation strategies, including difference-in-differences (DD), difference-indifference-in-differences (DDD), propensity score matching (PSM) and difference-indifferences matching (DDM), we find that the tuition program has a statistically significant and positive impact on the math scores of seventh grade students. More importantly, this program is shown to have the largest (and only significant) impact on the poorest students.
