Using TV market data, I first show that the digital transition considerably increases TV viewing time. The second part of the analysis uses a large administrative dataset on the universe of students in state-funded education in England to show that the switchover increases pupil test scores and that the effect is driven by economically disadvantaged students and low achievers. Lastly, I use a panel survey dataset at the individual level and show that the digital transition reduces the probability of children taking part in detrimental activities, such as alcohol drinking. I test for multiple additional mechanisms, but find no effect of television on these alternative outcomes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":47,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_image_focal_point":[],"show_featured_caption":false,"ulux_newsletter_groups":"","uluxPostTitle":"","uluxPrePostTitle":"","_trash_the_other_posts":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"event_start_date":"2023-12-05 13:00:00","event_end_date":"2023-12-05 14:00:00","event_speaker_name":"Adrian Nieto Castro","event_speaker_link":"","event_is_online":false,"event_location":"Campus Kirchberg 6, Rue Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi\n\n","event_street":"","event_location_link":"","event_zip_code":"1359","event_city":"Luxembourg","event_country":"Luxembourg"},"events-topic":[298],"events-type":[315],"organisation":[138],"authorship":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.3) -
