本文实施了两项研究设计，试图隔离班级规模对成绩的影响。第一个策略侧重于学生人数少于 30 人的农村学校班级规模的变化，因此每个年级只有一个教室。其次，类似于 Angrist 和 Lavy 的方法利用了规定，该规定允许某个年级学生人数超过 30 人的学校获得一名额外的教师。两种设计都表明班级规模会对考试成绩产生负面影响。
This note implements two research designs that attempt to isolate the effect of class size on achievement. A first strategy focuses on variation in class size in rural schools with fewer than 30 students, and hence only one classroom, per grade. Second, an approach similar to Angrist and Lavy's exploits regulations that allow schools with more than 30 students in a given grade to obtain an additional teacher. Both designs suggest class size negatively affects test scores.
