内容提要

本文作者关注了在中国的小学中将以前成绩优秀的学生（ “学霸”）和成绩较差的学生（“学渣”）随机配对成为同桌这一“同伴教育干预措施”的效果。研究发现，这一“同伴教育干预措施”不仅提高了“学渣”的数学成绩，还使得“学霸”和“学渣”的性格均变得更加外向、合群，说明同伴能影响人格特质。

原文摘要

We estimate the effects of an educational peer intervention in which previously high- and low-achieving students are randomly paired as deskmates in elementary schools in China. Our treatment boosts the mathematics scores of the low-achieving students. Moreover, the treatment enhances the extraversion and agreeableness of high- and low-achieving students, thereby providing evidence that peers can influence personality traits. The positive treatment effects can be attributed to the deskmate-level peer effects. We document friend network structure changes and present additional evidence on how friendship ties help us better understand the mechanisms behind peer effects.
