1. Effect of Parental Migration on the Academic Performance of Left-behind Children in Northwestern China
This study examines the impact of parental migration on the academic performance of Left Behind Children (LBCs) in rural China. Using data from over 13,000 students across 130 rural schools, the results show that parental migration generally has a positive effect on LBCs’ academic performance, particularly for students who performed poorly before their parents migrated. The study uses difference-in-difference and propensity score matching methods to analyze changes in standardized English test scores.
2. Out of the Education Desert: How Limited Local College Options are Associated with Inequity in Postsecondary Opportunities
This study explores how the geographic distribution of colleges in the United States affects students’ college application and enrollment decisions, particularly for those living in “education deserts.” Students in access deserts are more likely to apply to colleges far from home, while those in match deserts are less likely to apply to academically suitable institutions. The study highlights how these disparities contribute to social inequality and offers policy recommendations to address the issue.
