| Abstract: | Using Danish administrative panel data, this study employs a regression-discontinuity design to identify effects on educational attainment after compulsory school of class size and the number of pupils per weekly teacher hour using administrative rules (hereafter as: a-rules) as instruments. Restricting the sample to observations close to the enrollment discontinuity points where the a-rules have greatest predictive power, instrumental variables estimates are consistently negative. Estimates from the preferred specification are marginally significant and indicate modest effects in line with earlier research etc. |
