We correct for potential selection issues associated with grade retention, using a multi-stage econometric model. We find that early grade repetition (Grade 1 or 2) leads to an increase in test scores in the very short-run (in grade 3) but this positive effect is only transitory, as it becomes negative 3 or 4 years after the retention (in grade 6). publisher: Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques date: 2014 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Alet, Elodie, Bonnal, Liliane and Favard, Pascal (2014) Repetition: Medicine for a Short-Run Remission.
