Beschreibung:
We estimate the effects of authoritarian policies across generations using the arrival of the Pinochet dictatorship to Chile in 1973 as historical context. The dictatorship reduced higher education opportunities for new students across all universities. Using census data, we find that parents who reached college age shortly after 1973 experienced a sharp decline in college enrollment. Decades after democratization, we observe that their children are also less likely to enroll in higher education. The results imply large and persistent downstream effects of educational policies over more than half a century
