我们展示了成绩保留的效果如何随能力、保留时间和保留时间的不同而变化。现有的关于年级保持的研究没有很好地处理这样一种可能性，即被保留在不同年级的学生在看不到的能力(动态选择)方面存在差异，保留的效果也因学生的能力和保持的时间而异。我们扩展了现有的因素分析方法，以确定在这种情况下的治疗效果。使用ECLS-K数据，我们发现了动态选择保留的证据，以及按年级和不可观察能力的保留的异质性效应。
We show how the effect of grade retention varies by abilities, by timing of retention, and as time since retention elapses. Existing studies of grade retention are not well equipped to deal with the possibility that students retained at different grades differ in unobservable abilities (dynamic selection) and the effects of retention also vary by the student’s abilities and the timing of retention. We extend existing factor analytic methods for identifying treatment effects in such settings. Using ECLS-K data, we find evidence of dynamic selection into retention and of heterogeneous effects of retention by grade and unobservable abilities.
