摘要: Studies find that land reform increases household welfare through improving private rights protection. However, land reform may decrease human capital investment because of the opportunity cost of time. Exploiting the county-by-county rollout of China’s land reform during 1978-1984, we show that land reform significantly decreases teenagers’ likelihood of completing high school. These teenagers switch out of school into farm work when the return to farming increases. Approximately two decades later, children induced to engage in farm work are less likely to work in the nonagricultural sector and earn less than they would have had they stayed in school longer.
