Instrumental variables estimates of the local average treatment effect suggest that children generally gain from starting school 1 year later, and the effects are much stronger in the case of students coming from low-educated families. We test the robustness of the results by allowing for heterogeneity in the age effect, distinguishing between fields of testing, using discontinuity samples and relying on alternative data. The hypothesis that delayed entry has a stronger impact on low-status children is supported by the robustness checks. The observed patterns are most probably explained by the better performance of kindergartens, as opposed to schools, in developing the skills of low-status children. © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC. 2012 (Moldován Éva (MTA KTI admin); 2012.07.19. 12:00:29) true true true false true false NONE 2026-09-22 false true 10014152 Bálint Éva /api/admin/10014152 Admin Bálint Éva (KGKK admin) true 10014152 4 0 4 4 3 3 3 1 2 2 2 2 2 4 0 0 4 4 4 4 0 5 5 Folyóiratcikk Journal Article 24 3 Könyvrészlet Chapter in Book 25 0 Könyv Book 23 1 Egyéb konferenciaközlemény Conference paper 31 0 Egyéb konferenciakötet Conference proceedings 32 0 Oltalmi formák Protection forms 26 0 Disszertáció Thesis 28 0 Egyéb Miscellaneous 29 0 Alkotás Achievement 22 0 Kutatási adat Research data 33 0 Folyóiratcikk Journal Article 24 0 0 0 Könyvrészlet Chapter in Book 25 0 0 0 Könyv Book 23 0 0 0 Egyéb konferenciaközlemény Conference paper 31 0 0 0 Egyéb konferenciakötet Conference proceedings 32 0 0 0 Oltalmi formák Protection forms 26 0 0 0 Disszertáció Thesis 28 0 0 0 Egyéb Miscellaneous 29 0 0 0 Alkotás Achievement 22 0 0 0 Kutatási adat Research data 33 0 0 0 2017 0 3 3 3 3 2018 0 0 0 0 0 2019 0 0 0 0 0 2020 0 0 0 0 0 2021 0 0 0 0 0 2022 0 0 0 0 0 2023 0 1 1 1 1 Q2 A false 10007718 false false false 2015-11-10T20:41:24.000+0000 2012-07-19T10:05:29.000+0000 Közgazdaságtudományi Intézet (MTA KRTK) 1 11 1 2 0 false Language 10002 /api/language/10002 Angol Angol English true 2 true PersonAuthorship 3001532 /api/authorship/3001532 Altwicker-Hámori, Sz 1 0.5 true false Altwicker-Hámori Sz true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 Szerző 0 true 0 true false 15475371 true PersonAuthorship 3001533 /api/authorship/3001533 Köllő, J [Köllő, János (Munkagazdaságtan), szerző] Közgazdaságtudományi Intézet (MTA KRTK) 2 0.5 false true Author 10007718 /api/author/10007718 Köllő János (Munkagazdaságtan) Köllő János true 10007718 true Köllő J true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 Szerző 0 true 0 true false 15475370 true PublicationIdentifier 552004 /api/publicationidentifier/552004 DOI: 10.1080/13803611.2012.695142 PlainSource 6 /api/publicationsource/6 DOI PublicationSourceType 10001 /api/publicationsourcetype/10001 DOI true true true DOI DOI https://doi.org/@@@ true true 6 true false IDENTICAL 10.1080/13803611.2012.695142 https://doi.org/10.1080/13803611.2012.695142 false 338934 true PublicationIdentifier 552003 /api/publicationidentifier/552003 Scopus: 84863481477 PlainSource 3 /api/publicationsource/3 Scopus PublicationSourceType 10003 /api/publicationsourcetype/10003 Indexelő adatbázis false true true Scopus Scopus http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?origin=inward&eid=2-s2.0-@@@ true true 3 true false IDENTICAL 84863481477 http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?origin=inward&eid=2-s2.0-84863481477 false 338935 true Classification 12830 /api/classification/12830 Oktatástudomány true true Keyword 570 /api/keyword/570 IDENTIFICATION true 570 true Keyword 12861 /api/keyword/12861 education true 12861 true Keyword 1158930 /api/keyword/1158930 student test scores true 1158930 true Keyword 1158931 /api/keyword/1158931 enrolment age true 1158931 true MtaRating 515225 /api/mtarating/515225 II.
