1 Good Bye Chiang Kai-shek? The Long-Lasting Effects of Education under the Authoritarian Regime in Taiwan Yu Bai University of Bologna
2 Introduction Existing literature suggests that people s attitudes and ideology can be formed through a variety of channels: family (Bisin and Verdier, 2001), media and propaganda (Della Vigna and Kaplan, 2011), peer to peer (Sacerdote, 2001), etc. Education is among the most evident ones There are full of examples of dictators were using schooling in particular to control the outlook of children and young adults (Voigtländer and Voth, 2015)
3 Introduction Many countries ended the rule of authoritarian regimes between 1974 and 1990: the impacts of authoritarian regime may still exist Education: The long-term effects of socialist education on labor market outcomes and the likelihood of obtaining a college degree: Fuchs-Schündeln & Masella (2016) The short-run effects of curriculum on attitudes towards government under the authoritarian regime in China: Cantoni et al. (2017) This paper investigates whether the exposure to an authoritarian education during childhood and adolescence contributes to shaping the individual s political preference, voting participation, and national identity through the educational channel
4 Why Taiwan Historical background: The island of Taiwan was mainly inhabited by Taiwanese aborigines until the 17th century; During the Sino-Japanese War, the Qing ceded Taiwan to Japan in 1895; A half century later, the Republic of China (ROC) took control of Taiwan Chiang Kai-shek was the highest leader of the Kuomintang party (KMT) The contradictions led to an anti-kmt campaign around the whole island on February 28, 1947 After 1945: the explicit goal of the KMT-led authoritarian educational system was to impose government ideology on students: requiring unconditional support for the KMT; promoting patriotic education, worshiping leadership as well as anti-communism; going counteroffensive against the mainland China, etc.
5 Why Taiwan Historical background: The lifting of martial law was proclaimed by former Taiwanese leader Chiang Chingkuo on July 14, 1987, followed by the liberalization and democratization of Taiwan From an educational point of view, people were starting to express their dissatisfaction with the political indoctrination contents in the textbooks Overwhelming criticism about the political indoctrination in schools (Zhang, 2005). After September 1987: the schools sharply decreased the amount of patriotic activities and the Ministry of Education published revised textbooks. Most of the political indoctrination has been deleted We examine the effects of an authoritarian education on political outcomes by exploiting the sharp decrease of ideological content in school after 1987 in Taiwan

9 Roadmap Background Data and Methodology Results Baseline results To rule out alternative interpretations of the results Conclusions
10 Background: the political regime transition (Polity IV)
11 Background: the political regime transition : Chiang Kai-shek was a leader of the KMT, started to control Taiwan and perform martial law from 1949 to : Chiang Chingkuo took over control of the government in 1975; The martial law was still valid : Martial law was lifted. Li Teng-hui became the first native-born Taiwanese president; People regain political rights and were free to establish political parties
12 Background: education Political indoctrination in the textbooks The explicit goal of the authoritarian education was to impose KMT ideology on students Distinguishing the standard teaching contents and political indoctrination in the textbooks: Lin (2000), Lau (2000), Wang (1996) and Tsai (2007)
13 Background: frequency of ideological contents frequencies 40 frequency of ideological contents old textbook new textbook 5 0 Patrio.c Sen.ment Authoritarian Structure Leader Worships An.- mainland Sen.ment Authoritarian Value types of content
14 Data Data: Taiwan Social Change Survey, a cross-sectional survey, aimed at analyzing the social changes in Taiwan. Nine waves Sample: birth cohort ( )
15 Outcome variables Political preference Preference for democracy: if you think democracy is preferable to any other kind of government (1=Yes, 0=No; obs: 1382) Party affiliation: do you support for the KMT? (1=Yes, 0=No; obs: 2682) Political participation: did you turn out to vote in the most recent Taiwanese leader election? (1=Yes, 0=No; obs: 2663) National identity: which nationality do the you identify yourself as: Taiwanese or Chinese (2= Taiwanese, 1=both Taiwanese and Chinese; 0=Chinese) or (1=fully Taiwanese, 0=fully or partially Chinese; obs: 2243) Unification: if support for unification with China (2=Unification, 1=Keeping the status quo, 0=Independence) or (1=Unification, 0=Independence; obs: 2242)
16 Explanatory variables Treat ib : we define an individual i born in year b before September 1 as treatment group The idea: Our identification strategy exploits cut-off birth dates for school enrollment that lead to variations in the length of exposure to the authoritarian education within the same birth cohort (Fuchs-Schundeln & Masella, 2016) The difference between respondents in the treatment and control groups is that for any given birth cohort still in school when martial law was lifted off in July, 1987, respondents in the treatment group were one year more exposed to the authoritarian education system than respondents in the control group
17 Explanatory variables Structure of Education: Nine-year compulsory education was established in 1968: six years of primary school, three years of junior high school Cut-off birth date (1st September) for school enrollment (Spohr, 2003; Tsai, 2009; Chou et al., 2009): In Taiwan, children must be 6 years old on September 1 to enter the first grade in that year, and must be 12 years old on September 1 to enter the seventh grade

38 Conclusions This paper sheds light on the long-run impacts of political regime by exploiting evidence from the variation of the ideological content in schools We find that one additional year of exposure to authoritarian education has significant effects on political outcomes Our results persist after ruling out alternative interpretations and are robust to the sensitivity tests and different groups definitions
