摘要

2006 年，教育部宣布原住民於大專入學時的加分保障制度，改為外加名額並以其當時之人口比例為上限。本論文使用雙重差分法(difference-in-differences design)，分析此政策對原住民家庭教育支出之影響。結果顯示，迴歸分析中所發現的整體正向效果，源自於高教育背景之家庭為因應限縮的名額，大幅增加對學齡子女之教育投資。在使用不同樣本定義和模型的延伸分析中，不只確立了前述發現的穩健性，更發現教育投資在雙重維度之下的異質性。

In 2006, the Ministry of Education in Taiwan announced a restriction on affirmative education policy for indigenous students in college admission. This thesis applies a difference-in-differences method to examine how the rising competitiveness in the new system could affect the indigenous households’ education investment. The surprisingly positive effect is found to be originated from the significant heterogeneity across parental education. Indigenous parents with high education backgrounds increased their spending on their child’s education greater than other parents. Further analyses with different samples and methods support a two-dimensional heterogeneous response under the new policy and ensure the robustness of findings.
