【摘要】
Paternalistic education is ubiquitous, particularly in East Asian countries. However, by influencing or constraining choices of students, paternalistic education may disempower students and “crowd out” their intrinsic motivation (Bénabou and Tirole, 2003). Using data from the China Education Panel Survey, this paper studies how paternalistic education at school shapes students’ academic motivations and performances by estimating the effect of evening school session, which on average extends a school day to 14 hours and includes almost all study time within the control of school. We find that evening school session significantly reduces students’ test scores and self-assessed scores, especially in Chinese and English. Additionally, evening school session undermines students' intrinsic motivation for study, and creates mental health issues. We identify causal inferences by exploiting the variation in sunset time and boarding status and discuss alternative interpretations. Furthermore, we find that the negative impacts of evening schooling sessions are particularly strong when the students are exposed to teachers who face more pressure from teaching evaluation, student promotion rate and school administration.
