摘要利用PISA-上海(2012)的数据,基于教育生产函数的解释框架,本文检验了学校生活中的相对年龄效应。研究发现,在严格遵守入学政策并正常升级的情况下,同一年级中相对年龄较大的学生在认知(数学、阅读和科学)和非认知(未来教育期望)等若干身心发展指标上均表现更优秀。IV估计结果表明,学校生活质量的"相对年龄效应"具有内生性,OLS/MLE低估了年龄的实际影响。 Framed by educational production function, Program for International Student Assessment（PISA,2012） provides convincing empirical evidence for relative age effect on the quality of campus life among 15 year-old pupils in Shanghai. Research findings show that students who are relatively older in the same school calendar cohort perform better in cognitive skills proxied by test scores in Math, Reading, and Science, and they embrace higher expectations for the future educational careers, more likely to orient toward general education track. Instrumental variable approach indicates that observed age of individuals is endogenous, therefore, OLS/MLE under estimates maturity effecfs.
