  • Reinforcement or Compensation?:Parental Responses to Children’s Revealed Human Capital Levels in Ethiopia
    2020
    Co-Authors: Wei Fan, Catherine Porter
    Abstract:

    A small but increasing body of literature finds that parents invest in their children unequally. However, the evidence is contradictory, and providing convincing causal evidence of the effect of child ability on parental investment in a low-income context is challenging. This paper examines how parents respond to the differing abilities of primary school-age Ethiopian siblings, using rainfall shocks during the critical developmental period between pregnancy and the first three years of a child’s life to isolate exogenous variation in child ability within the household, observed at a later stage than birth. The results show that on average parents attempt to compensate disadvantaged children through increased cognitive investment. The effect is significant, but small in magnitude: parents provide about 3.9% of a standard deviation more in Educational Fees to the lower-ability child in the observed pair. We provide suggestive evidence that families with educated mothers, smaller household size, and higher wealth compensate with greater cognitive resources for a lower ability child.

This paper examines how parents respond to the differing abilities of primary school-aged Ethiopian siblings, using rainfall shocks during the critical developmental period between pregnancy and the first 3 years of a child’s life to isolate exogenous variations in child ability within the household, observed at a later stage than birth. The results show that on average parents attempt to compensate disadvantaged children through increased cognitive investment. The effect is significant, but small in magnitude: parents provide about 3.9% of a standard deviation more in Educational Fees to the lower-ability child in the observed pair.

  • “Acts of Misconduct” or “the System's Defects” ——On Illegal and Unreasonable Educational Fees, Education Anti-Corruption and Construction of a Clean and Honest Administration
    Journal of Hangzhou Teachers College, 2005
    Co-Authors: Ma He-min
    Abstract:

    The in-depth research of the illegal and unreasonable Educational Fees, Educational anti-corruption and construction of a clean and honest administration should take into account the social characteristics of the transformational times, because there exists a fundamental issue——“the tension between the individual and the system” of a transformational society, which can be specifically interpreted in two aspects of “interest-driven” procedural injustice and “system's restraints” on school development. The two factors give rise to “acts of misconduct” which are also mainly caused by “the system's defects”. Therefore, the crackdown on Educational corruption and construction of a clean and honest government requires the set-up of an effective, long-term organism, and a package of approaches should be implemented, such as forging ideological innovations and carrying out comprehensive control strategies.
