Note: The data source is the China Education Panel Survey (CEPS) 2013–2014. Robust standard errors reported in parentheses are clustered at the class level. The estimate in each cell is obtained from a separate regression. A full set of individual and class characteristics listed in Table 1, grade fixed effects, school fixed effects, and grade-by-school fixed effects are included in each regression. Each cell in Column (1) represents a separate IV estimation in which the dependent variable is the students’ answers on the perception of campus life. *** p < 0.01, ** p < 0.05, * p < 0.1.
