TY - RPRT AU - McLean, Andrew AU - McVicar, Duncan TI - Does Being Excluded from School Harm Student Achievement? Evidence from Siblings in English Population Data PY - 2025/Jul/ PB - Institute of Labor Economics (IZA) CY - Bonn T2 - IZA Discussion Paper IS - 18044 UR - https://www.iza.org/index.php/publications/dp18044 AB - This paper presents sibling fixed effects estimates of the relationship between school exclusion and subsequent academic achievement from population-wide administrative data on English secondary school students. It complements a growing base of quasi-experimental and individual fixed effects evidence on exclusion effects in predominantly US settings. We find that being excluded is negatively associated with subsequent achievement at school. We assess the extent to which this might reflect a negative causal impact of exclusion.
