摘要：

       Housing consumption may crowd out investment in children’s education if families use housing to signal social status.  To examine the causal impact of housing on children’s education, we employ the housing renovation program as an exogenous shock. We find youths in impoverished families that are eligible for the housing renovation coupon are less likely to enter college. The hindering impact is more substantial if there are marriageable-age children present within family. Then we conceptualize the family decision to show why conspicuous housing negatively affects children’s education. Our study indicates that advocation for moderate housing investment is crucial to achieve sustainable development.
