ABSTRACT The accession of Eastern European countries to the European Union increased family wealth and the returns to schooling. I analyze the change in student achievement due to the EU accession of Eastern Europe building on a panel of six PISA waves covering more than 1 million students in 32 countries. Using a difference-in-differences approach, I find a positive and statistically significant link of EU membership to reading scores by one tenth of a standard deviation. The effect seems robust to including controls from the human capital production function.

欧盟东欧成员资格如何影响学生成绩

摘要东欧国家加入欧盟增加了家庭财富，并增加了入学率。我以六个PISA浪潮为面板，分析了32个国家/地区的100万名学生，分析了由于欧盟加入东欧而导致的学生成绩变化。使用差异差异方法，我发现欧盟成员资格与阅读成绩之间的正向和统计显着联系是标准差的十分之一。在包括人力资本生产职能部门的控制权方面，这种作用似乎很稳健。
