Project Description

Summary:  View help for Summary This repository contains datasets and analysis code accompanying the paper "An Empirical Evaluation of Chinese College Admissions Reforms Through A Natural Experiment" by Chen, Jiang, and Kesten. The datasets contain the college admission data for a county in China's Sichuan Province for year 2008 and 2009. These include students' submitted rank-ordered lists of colleges and admission results. All variables are recoded to remove any identifiable information (including college and high school code). The analysis code can be used to replicate the tables and figures in the paper.
