本文研究了一所大学开放对邻近地区准学生人力资本积累激励的影响。开放通过距离的减少导致上大学的成本外生下降,从而导致增加努力的动机--这表现在对学生成绩的积极影响上。我使用具有双向固定效应的事件研究方法来检索因果估计,利用在不同时间接受治疗的学生群体之间的差异--减轻政府对新大学选址的决定造成的偏见。结果显示,对于建立该大学的城市来说,测试成绩的平均标准差增加了0.038美元,并且对一系列潜在问题具有稳健性,包括事件研究模型中的一些常见问题。

英文摘要:
This paper studies the impact of an university opening on incentives for human capital accumulation of prospective students in its neighborhood. The opening causes an exogenous fall on the cost to attend university, through the decrease in distance, leading to an incentive to increase effort - shown by the positive effect on students\' grades. I use an event study approach with two-way fixed effects to retrieve a causal estimate, exploiting the variation across groups of students that receive treatment at different times - mitigating the bias created by the decision of governments on the location of new universities. Results show an average increase of $0.038$ standard deviations in test grades, for the municipality where the university was established, and are robust to a series of potential problems, including some of the usual concerns in event study models.
