Does attending a key school have a quality premium? A regression discontinuity analysis
This article investigates the effect of attending a <italic>key</italic> high school using unique administrative data collected from China. We employ regression discontinuity design to mitigate selection bias arising from unobservable individual ability. Our results show that attending a key high school has a positive effect on student's college entrance examination score. The results are robust to various robustness checks.
