随着我国高等教育改革的快速发展，加之相关扩招政策的实施，越来越多的城乡青年接受过大学教育。这

种现象对于跨城乡、跨区域为特点的人口迁移有着何种影响是当今的研究焦点。本期文献选自近期发表于

China Economic Review上的文章“College education and internal migration in China”。

 

该研究基于CFPS2010年相关数据，聚焦大学教育与终身流动性间的关系。与现有文献不同，本文为了解

大学教育的总体影响，将城乡移民以及户口和非户口移民纳入研究。文章还对包括幼年居住地、性别、户

口状况等多种因素进行了细节分析。

College education and internal migration in China

 

ABSTRACT

 

Although mobile Internet has become an integral part of people’s daily life in the world today, research on

whether and to what extent mobile Internet use (MIU) affects the subjective well-being (SWB) of older

adults is scant. This paper focuses on the SWB-MIU gradients among older Chinese adults and contributes

to the literature by exploring the relationship between MIU and SWB across the entire distribution of older

adults’ SWB. Using nationally representative data from the China Family Panel Studies, we find that MIU

has a significant positive impact on the SWB of older adults in China. Employing an instrumental variable

quantile regression approach, we provide robust evidence of an asymmetric distributional impact of MIU

on SWB among older Chinese adults. In particular, we find that individuals with lower levels of SWB

 

In this paper, I examine the causal impact of college education on young adults' out-province migration in

China using China Family Panel Studies 2010 wave data. I use the number of colleges at the province-year

level to identify the effect of college attendance on young adults' later life location choice. 2SLS estimates

suggest that attending college significantly increases the likelihood of residing in a different province later

in life by 7.5 percentage points. A series of tests shows that the impact of college on migration is

heterogenous to people's childhood location, gender, hukou origin, and occupation.
