Abstract	This paper investigates how changing the length of school year, leaving the basic curriculum unchanged, affects learning and subsequent earnings. [The author] uses variation introduced by the West-German short school years in 1966-67, which exposed some students to a total of about two thirds of a year less of schooling while enrolled. He shows that the short school years led indeed to shorter schooling for affected students. Using comparisons across cohorts, states, and secondary school tracks, he finds that the short school years increased grade repetition in primary school, but had no adverse effect on the number of students attending the highest secondary school track or earnings later in life.
