我们调查了瑞典两个平行的学校改革，以评估教育的长期健康影响。一项改革只增加了受教育年限，而另一项改革增加了受教育年限，但也取消了跟踪，导致社会经济同龄人群体更加混合。通过区分并行改革的影响，我们将脱离追踪和同龄人的影响与更多学校教育的影响分开。我们发现，纯粹的受教育年限改革降低了死亡率，改善了当前的健康状况。区分改革的影响显示出显着的差异，估计的影响，这表明，脱轨和随后的同伴效应导致健康状况恶化。
We investigate two parallel school reforms in Sweden to assess the long-run health effects of education. One reform only increased years of schooling, while the other increased years of schooling but also removed tracking leading to a more mixed socioeconomic peer group. By differencing the effects of the parallel reforms we separate the effect of de-tracking and peers from that of more schooling. We find that the pure years of schooling reform reduced mortality and improved current health. Differencing the effects of the reforms shows significant differences in the estimated impacts, suggesting that de-tracking and subsequent peer effects resulted in worse health.
