Identification of causal education effects using a discontinuity in school entry tests: First results from a pilot study
Boes, Stefan; Hangartner, Dominik; Schmid, Lukas - 2011
We use a credible regression discontinuity design to estimate causal education effects. Pupils in the Swiss education system had to pass a centrally organized exam that classified them into different levels of secondary school, and that ultimately determined their educational degree. A major...

"Study hard and make progress every day": updates on returns to education in China
Chen, Jie; Pastore, Francesco - 2021
In this paper, we apply Generalized Propensity Score Matching (GPSM) method, which deals with a continuous treatment variable, to estimate the returns to education in China from 2010 to 2017. Results are compared with OLS estimates from the classical Mincerian equation, as well as estimates from...
