In Jang and Yum (2020), school closures lasting one year reduce the lifetime income of affected cohorts by about one percent, compared to a one percent reduction for a half-year closure estimated by Fuchs-Schündeln et al. (2021).
“The authors find that school closures that last for one year reduce the lifetime income of the affected cohorts by about one percent, compared to a one percent reduction for a half-year closure as estimated by Fuchs-Schündeln et al. (2021).”
From Educational Inequality* (2022) · cites this paper as Fuchs-Schündeln et al. (2021)
In Fuchs-Schündeln et al. (2021), among children aged 4-14 during the pandemic, a school closure lasting six months increases the share without a high school degree by seven percent and reduces the share with a college degree by 3.2 percent.
“They find large effects: among children aged 4-14 during the pandemic, a school closure lasting six months increases the share without a high school degree by seven percent and reduces the share of children with a college degree by 3.2 percent.”
From Educational Inequality* (2022) · cites this paper as Fuchs-Schündeln et al. (2021)
Poorer children are predicted to suffer more from school closures because a larger share of their educational investments come from schools rather than parents and because richer parents increase their investments more in response to school closures.
“Poorer children are predicted to suffer more from school closures for two reasons.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
