摘要｜Abstract
Thispaper investigates the long-run effects of a mass killing of animal labor on human education. During China’s agricultural collectivization movement, advanced cooperatives were instituted between 1955 and 1957, leading to a widespread slaughter of draft animals. We leverage census and survey data to demonstrate that people who were exposed to more draft animal deaths during their school ages have better educational attainment, lower dropout rates, and better jobs today. These effects also extend to second-generation individuals who have long years of schooling and secure better jobs. Our findings suggest that these effects are due to decreased returns on agricultural work. We also find that people shift their preferences toward human capital investment, which possibly contribute to long-term effects spanning across generations.
