Abstract

Drawing upon interviews with policy-affected individuals, this paper delineates its research objective: to investigate the influence of a specific policy on the inclination towards continued education within a given region. Leveraging comprehensive data ranging from provincial population sample surveys spanning 2008 to 2021 and annual statistics from the China National Bureau of Statistics, we meticulously select appropriate proxy variables. By conducting a nuanced mechanism analysis focusing on students and their families, we establish a Difference-in-Differences (DID) model. The empirical findings, fortified by rigorous placebo tests and parallel trend assessments, conclusively demonstrate the positive impact of the “School Consolidation” policy on fostering an increased tendency towards further education. Furthermore, our analysis reveals that regions with a higher degree of urbanization exhibit a correspondingly stronger propensity for continued education. This study, which marries micro-level mechanism insights with macro-data-driven empirical conclusions, offers invaluable decision-making support for China’s basic education landscape by shedding light on the psychological dynamics ignited by the policy.
