我们补充了有关男性服兵役的长期经济影响的文献。我们专注于 1949 年至 1960 年间英国战后征兵入伍的情况。这被称为国民服役，适用于 18 至 26 岁的男性。基于断点回归设计，我们估计了服兵役对那些需要通过征兵服役的人的收入的影响。我们认为，总的来说，我们不应该期望在应征入伍者中发现比晚出生的不符合征召资格的男性群体更高的长期实际收入。我们的经验证据坚决否认征兵会带来相对长期实际收入差异的观点。
We add to the literature on the long-term economic effects of male military service. We concentrate on post-war British conscription into the armed services from 1949 to 1960. It was called National Service and applied to males aged 18 to 26. Based on a regression discontinuity design we estimate the effect of military service on the earnings of those required to serve through conscription. We argue that, in general, we should not expect to find large long-term real earnings among conscripts compared to later birth cohorts of males who were not eligible for call-up. Our empirical evidence firmly rejects the view that conscription entails relative long-term real earnings differences.
