使用挪威的数据，我们检验了入学年龄（SSA）的影响。与最近的许多文献不同，我们可以使用18岁左右校外进行的智商测试的分数，将SSA与测试年龄的影响分开。我们发现，入学年龄较晚会产生很小的负面影响，但考试年龄的积极影响要大得多。此外，年龄越大，30岁之前的收入就越低。我们发现SSA对受教育程度的影响不大，但年龄较大的男孩在18岁时心理健康状况不佳的可能性较小。此外，上学年龄较晚对少女怀孕的可能性有负面影响。
Using Norwegian data, we examine effects of school starting age (SSA). Unlike much recent literature, we can separate SSA from test age effects using scores from IQ tests taken outside school at about age 18. We find a small, negative effect of starting school older but much larger positive effects of age at test. Also, starting older leads to lower earnings until about age 30. We find little impact of SSA on educational attainment, but boys who start older are less likely to have poor mental health at age 18. Additionally, starting school older has a negative effect on the probability of teenage pregnancy.
