Early Tracking and the Misfortune of Being Young
Authors:Nicole Schneeweis  Martina Zweimüller
Institution:University of Linz, , A‐4040 Linz, Austria
Abstract:Recent research suggests that the relative age of a student within a grade has a causal effect on educational achievement, and that this effect fades with the duration of schooling. In this study, we estimate the causal relative‐age effect on track choice in Austria, a country where students are first tracked in grade 5 (at the age of 10 years), and again in grade 9. We find a strong positive relative‐age effect on track choice in grades 5–8. The age effect persists beyond grade 8 for students from less‐favorable socioeconomic backgrounds and students in urban areas.
Keywords:Educational tracking  relative‐age effect  school choice  socioeconomic gradient  I21  I24  I28
