我们调查了同龄人能力对16岁和18岁高风险考试成绩的影响，以及对上大学的可能性的影响。为了解释同伴能力的内隐性，我们使用一个人的中学同伴的小学同伴的平均能力，不包括那些来自同一所小学的个人，作为平均中学同伴能力的工具变量。我们的研究结果表明，平均同伴质量有一个小的影响，个人的考试成绩，和一个较大比例的低质量的同伴有一个显着的不利影响，平均学生的成绩。此外，同伴能力似乎对年级分布底部的学生有更大的影响，特别是在16岁时。
We investigate peer ability effects on high-stakes test scores at ages 16 and 18, and on the probability of university attendance. To account for endogeneity in peer ability, we use the average ability of the primary school peers of one’s secondary school peers, excluding those from the same primary school of the individual, as an instrumental variable for average secondary school peer ability. Our results show that average peer quality has a small effect on an individual’s test scores, and a larger proportion of low-quality peers has a significantly detrimental effect on achievements of an average student. Furthermore, peer ability seems to have a stronger effect on students at the bottom of the grade distribution, especially at age 16.
