dc.description | Estudiamos la transmisión de la educación superior a través de generaciones utilizando como experimento natural la llegada de la dictadura de Pinochet a Chile en 1973. Pinochet promovió una gran contracción en el número de vacantes para nuevos estudiantes en todas las universidades. Usando datos del censo, encontramos que los padres que alcanzaron la edad universitaria poco después de 1973 experimentaron una fuerte disminución en la inscripción universitaria. Décadas después de la democratización, vemos que sus hijos también tienen menos probabilidades de matricularse en la educación superior. Los resultados implican grandes y persistentes secuelas de las políticas educativas implementadas hace medio siglo. | es |
dc.description.abstract | We study the transmission of higher education across generations using the arrival of the Pinochet dictatorship to Chile in 1973 as natural experiment. Pinochet promoted a large contraction in the number of seats opened for new students across all universities. Using census data, we find that parents who reached college age shortly after 1973 experienced a sharp decline in college enrollment. Decades after democratization, we observe that their children are also less likely to enroll in higher education. The results imply large and persistent downstream effects of educational policies implemented half a century ago. | es |
