This paper aims to measure and understand the rural–urban student cognitive ability gap in.China. Using the China Education Panel Survey (CEPS) 2013/2014 data, we find that the cognitive.ability test scores of urban students are approximately 1.41 points (17%) higher than those.of rural students, on average. This difference is equivalent to 37 and 41% of the standard deviation.of urban and rural students' test scores, respectively. Instead of the raw test score, when.the cognitive ability is estimated with the 3-parameter Logistic item response theory model, the.rural–urban gap is somewhat reduced. The regression and Oaxaca–Blinder decomposition analyses.show that nearly one-half of the rural–urban gap can be accounted for by differences in.observed characteristics, especially number of siblings, parental education, and interaction between.parents and teachers. We then discuss the policy implications of these results and propose.a few potential ways to reduce the rural–urban gap in students' cognitive abilities.
