由于缺乏数据和样本选择，人们对服兵役对人力资本和劳动力市场结果的影响知之甚少：新兵是自我选择、筛选和选择性生存的。我们研究的情况下，乌干达，叛军招募方法提供了外源性的变化征兵。经济和教育的影响是广泛和持久的：学校教育福尔斯下降了近一年，技术就业减半，收入下降了三分之一。服兵役似乎不能代替上学。遭受严重战争暴力的人显然有心理痛苦，而且不限于前战斗人员。
Little is known about the impacts of military service on human capital and labor market outcomes due to an absence of data as well as sample selection: recruits are self-selected, screened, and selectively survive. We examine the case of Uganda, where rebel recruitment methods provide exogenous variation in conscription. Economic and educational impacts are widespread and persistent: schooling falls by nearly a year, skilled employment halves, and earnings drop by a third. Military service seems to be a poor substitute for schooling. Psychological distress is evident among those exposed to severe war violence and is not limited to ex-combatants.
