4 摘要

A substantial amount of China’s rapid economic growth in has been attributed to its large proportion of rural-urban migrants, but more than 80% of these migrants’ children are still left in rural areas mainly due to China’s household registration system. Identification of the impact of parental migration on children’s school performance may encounter the problem of endogeneity. Using unique survey data collected from Qinghai Province and the Ningxia Autonomous Region in Northwestern China where more than 7,100 Grade 4 & 5 students from 74 rural elementary schools participated and by the instrumental-variable estimation, our results indicate that parents’ decisions to migrate are exogenous to their children’s schooling performance, and one more migratory parent can marginally reduce their child’s math score by 1.73 percent in percentile rank, which implies that the current economic growth in China partially jeopardizes the future of the next rural generation. In addition, we find a causal relationship between the poor performance of ethnic minorities and both geographical and social disadvantages.

只是粗略看了一下，发现IV的选取还是成问题的，比如家庭成员数，你说这能是外生的么？

那要跟于晓华老师商榷了。我也觉得这些IV都或多或少有问题，他们这么做也仅仅是表示考虑了内生性问题。

另外，由于只有1期数据，个人的能力也很难控制。家庭数量显然与个人能力相关，因为有大量文献讨论子女数量与质量的关系。论文说，中国有独生子女政策，但他们调查的区域，汉族样本才30%多，大量少数民族样本是不受到独生子女政策影响的。
