| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to assess the desired level of ICT investment in schools, it is necessary to rigorously measure the impact of ICT investment in schools on educational outcomes.
In this study, we considered the discontinuity in school ICT investment between granting and non-granting municipalities as a natural experiment, and analyzed the impact of ICT investment in schools on children's outcomes. The results show that children living in municipalities where the policy reduces the number of children per PC have higher math scores and that the effect varies by gender.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
日本において学校へのICT投資と教育成果に関して制度を利用した自然実験アプローチにより因果関係の識別を試みている点で特徴的である。厳密な手法を用いることで国際比較可能な日本のエビデンスを提供する意義がある。政策効果は属性により結果が異なることが予測され、家計背景に違いによる影響詳細に検討することにより、どのような家計に介入すべきかの教育政策への示唆を与える意義がある。
