本研究调查了负面经济冲击对马拉维农村家庭儿童上学的影响，马拉维是撒哈拉以南非洲最贫穷的国家之一。对个人报告的和社区一级的电击都进行了调查。有证据表明，社区一级的冲击对儿童入学率产生了不利影响。点估计数表明，与妇女相比，当男子报告受到冲击和入学率时，这种影响更大。然而，我们不能得出这样的结论与统计学上的信心，特异质休克的影响是更大的男性报告时，比女性报告。同样，虽然点估计表明，社区一级的冲击对儿童入学率的影响大于特质冲击，但我们不能得出具有统计意义的结论，即社区一级和特质冲击的影响是不同的。
This study investigates the impacts of negative economic shocks on child schooling in households of rural Malawi, one of the poorest countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Both individually-reported and community-level shocks are investigated. There is evidence that community-level shocks negatively impact the school enrolment of children. The point estimates suggest that this effect is larger when shocks and school enrolment are reported by men as compared with women. However, we cannot conclude with statistical confidence that the impact of idiosyncratic shocks is larger when reported by males than when reported by females. Similarly, although the point estimates suggest that the impact of community-level shocks on the school enrolment of children is larger than that of idiosyncratic shocks, we cannot conclude with statistical significance that the impacts of community-level and idiosyncratic shocks are different.
