We estimate the effect of age of school entry on educational outcomes using two different data sets for Germany, sampling pupils at the end of primary school and in the middle of secondary school. Results are obtained based on instrumental variable estimation exploiting the exogenous variation...

In dieser Arbeit untersuchen wir die Auswirkung des Einschulungsalters auf den späteren schulischen Erfolg. Grundlage der empirischen Analysen sind zwei unterschiedliche Datensätze für Deutschland, die Individualdaten von Schülern am Ende der Grundschule und in der weiterführenden Schule...

In Germany, the streaming of students into an academic or nonacademic track at age 10 can be revised at later stages of secondary education. To investigate the importance of such revisions, we use administrative data on the student population in the German state of Hessen to measure the...

We estimate the effect of age of school entry on educational attainment using three different data sets for Germany, sampling pupils at the end of primary school, in the middle of secondary school and several years after secondary school. Results are obtained based on instrumental variable...

Die vorliegende Studie entsteht im Kontext des in Deutschland bestehenden Fachkräftemangels. Dieser bezieht sich vor allem auf ausgebildete Akademikerinnen und Akademiker in den für das deutsche Innovationssystem bedeutenden Kernbereichen Mathematik, Informatik, Naturwissenschaften und...

Ziel dieses Diskussionspapieres ist es, ein Indikatoren-Set zusammenzustellen, das im Rahmen einer routinemäßigen Evaluation der hausarztzentrierten Versorgung (HzV) eingesetzt werden kann. Dieses Indikatoren-Set soll die Qualitäts- und Wirtschaftlichkeitsziele der HzV möglichst umfassend...

In this study, we analyze health effects of a recent education reform in Germany exposing students to increased schooling intensity. The reform shortened the higher secondary education track by one year. As the overall curriculum required for graduation was held constant, this led to an increase...

This paper examines educational outcomes of pupils selected to secondary school types by different tracking regimes in a German state: Pupils are alternatively streamed after fourth grade or after sixth grade. Regression results indicate that, estimated on the mean, there are no negative effects...
