摘　　要：使用中国家庭追踪调查数据(CFPS),本文采用双重差分识别策略研究了免费义务教育政策对城乡教育差距的影响。实证研究结果表明,免费义务教育政策缩小了城乡教育差距,每多受政策影响1年,城乡教育差距缩小约0.3年。分性别比较发现,相比于男性,免费义务教育政策对缩小女性城乡教育差距的作用更加显著;分东中西部的比较结果显示,相比于东部、中部,政策对缩小西部城乡教育差距的作用更明显。进一步研究发现,免费义务教育政策通过缩小高低收入家庭子代的教育差距缩小了城乡教育差距,家庭收入因素部分解释了政策的作用。Using the China Family Panel Studies(CFPS)data,this article employs the DID identification strategy to study the impact of free compulsory education policy on urban-rural gap in education.The empirical results show that the policy can narrow the urban-rural gap in educational attainment and improve the urban-rural equality in education.The gap between urban and rural education becomes smaller by about 0.3 year for each additional year affected by the policy.Compared with males,the policy has a more significant effect on narrowing the education gap between urban and rural areas for females.Compared with the Eastern and Central regions,the policy plays a more significant role in narrowing the education gap between urban and rural areas in the Western region.Further analysis shows that the policy narrows urban-rural gap in education by closing the educational divide between the children coming from high and low-income families,and family income partly explains the mechanism of the policy.
