​​“Parental Love is Not Blind”

With the participation of: Ainhoa Aparicio Fenoll

Language The seminar is held in English.
Abstract In many countries parents can choose whether their children start elementary school
one year earlier. Like many other educational decisions, this choice has lasting
consequences that can depend on each child’s characteristics. Which children are
sent to school early? How are they affected by this decision? To answer these
questions, we exploit a feature of the Italian education system: only children born
between January and April can start elementary school one year early. We use data
on standardized tests taken by all students in Italy. We find that there is positive
selection: students who start early have higher ability. Moreover, for those children,
the penalty associated to early start is smaller.
