教育产生了大量的非货币收益，但这些收益的大小仍有争议。以前的研究报告指出，教育和义务教育对死亡率的因果影响从零到大到负不等。我们利用世纪欧洲实施的18项义务教育改革的数据，量化了平均死亡率的增加，并探讨了其在性别、时间和国家之间的分布。我们发现，更多的教育在短期和长期内对男性的死亡率都有很小的降低。相反，妇女的死亡率似乎没有因义务教育改革而降低。(C)2014爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Education yields substantial non-monetary benefits, but the size of these gains is still debated. Previous studies report causal effects of education and compulsory schooling on mortality ranging anywhere from zero to large and negative. Using data from 18 compulsory schooling reforms implemented in Europe during the twentieth century, we quantify the average mortality gain and explore its dispersion across gender, time and countries. We find that more education yields small mortality reductions in the short-and long-run for men. In contrast, women seem to experience no mortality reductions from compulsory schooling reforms.
