我们评估是否改变从学术选择性的全面的教育体系，促进社会流动性，使用英格兰作为案例研究。在20年的时间里，英格兰学术精英学校的学生比例急剧下降，并且按地区不同。使用人口普查记录的样本匹配的选择性学校教育的数据，我们利用时间和地理上的变化，在选择性学校就读的学生的比例，以估计教育制度对代际社会流动的影响。我们的研究结果没有提供支持的论点，从选择性的全面教育的举动有显着的影响，在英格兰的社会流动性。这些发现对于一系列灵敏度和稳健性检查是稳健的。
We assess whether changing from an academically selective to a comprehensive schooling system promotes social mobility, using England as a case study. Over a period of two decades, the share of pupils in academically selective schools in England declined sharply and differentially by area. Using a sample of census records matched to data on selective schooling, we exploit temporal and geographic variation in the proportion of pupils attending selective schools to estimate the effects of schooling system on intergenerational social mobility. Our results provide no support for the contention that the move from selective to comprehensive schooling had a notable effect on social mobility in England. The findings are robust to a battery of sensitivity and robustness checks.
