This work studies the cross-country variability in the interaction effect between academic achievement and social origin on the configuration of the expectation of enrolment in the academic track of upper secondary education. Drawing on the Relative Risk Aversion Theory and the Compensatory Advantage model, we anticipate that academic achievement and social origin interact so that high-SES students’ expectations are irresponsive to low academic achievement. We call this phenomenon “stickiness in expectations”. However, we expect to observe sticky educational expectations of high-SES students particularly in those countries where the transition into the academic track of upper secondary education is consequential for their social status maintenance. To test this hypothesis, we use 2018 PISA data for 11 OECD countries and carry out a two-stage regression analysis. We estimate stickiness in expectations for each country using a counterfactual decomposition method. We then regress the country-specific estimate of stickiness in educational expectations on macro-level indicators of the risk of downward mobility associated with non-enrolment in the academic track and the economic capacity to compensate for low achievement in each country. We find sticky educational expectations in 6 of the 11 countries studied and show that stickiness is larger in those countries where not enrolling the academic track in Upper Secondary Education entails a larger risk of social status demotion for high-SES students.

粘性教育期望:跨国比较

这项工作研究了学业成就和社会出身之间的交互作用对高中教育学术轨道入学期望配置的跨国变异性。借鉴相对风险规避理论和补偿优势模型,我们预计学业成绩和社会出身相互作用,因此高 SES 学生的期望对低学业成绩没有反应。我们称这种现象为“预期粘性”。然而,我们预计会观察到高 SES 学生的粘性教育期望,特别是在那些过渡到高中教育学术轨道对其社会地位维持产生影响的国家。为了检验这个假设,我们使用 11 个 OECD 国家的 2018 年 PISA 数据并进行两阶段回归分析。我们使用反事实分解方法估计每个国家的预期粘性。然后,我们对与不参加学术课程相关的向下流动风险的宏观层面指标以及补偿每个国家低成就的经济能力的宏观层面指标对教育期望粘性的国家特定估计进行回归。我们在所研究的 11 个国家中的 6 个国家中发现粘性教育期望,并表明在那些不参加高中教育学术课程会导致高 SES 学生社会地位降级风险更大的国家,粘性更大。然后,我们对与不参加学术轨道相关的向下流动风险的宏观指标以及补偿每个国家低成就的经济能力的宏观层面指标对教育期望粘性的国家特定估计进行回归。我们在所研究的 11 个国家中的 6 个国家中发现粘性教育期望,并表明在那些不参加高中教育学术课程会导致高 SES 学生社会地位降级风险更大的国家,粘性更大。然后,我们对与不参加学术轨道相关的向下流动风险的宏观指标以及补偿每个国家低成就的经济能力的宏观层面指标对教育期望粘性的国家特定估计进行回归。我们在所研究的 11 个国家中的 6 个国家中发现粘性教育期望,并表明在那些不参加高中教育学术课程会导致高 SES 学生社会地位降级风险更大的国家,粘性更大。
