(Forthcoming Article) - We evaluate equity-efficiency trade-offs from admissions quotas by examining effects on output once beneficiaries start producing in the relevant industry. We estimate the impact of abolishing a 40% quota for male primary school teachers on their pupils’ long-run outcomes. We combine this reform with the timing of union-mandated teacher retirements to isolate quasi-random variation in male quota teachers. Pupils exposed to male quota teachers transition more smoothly to post-compulsory education and have higher educational attainment and labor force attachment at age 25. Evidence suggests that the quota improved the allocation of talent by mending imperfections in the unconstrained selection process.
