摘要:This paper explores the role of scientific fictions (Sci-Fi) in fostering curiosity and creativity, which are key to technological advancement. We exploit the short-term prosperity of Sci-Fi in China in early 1980s. Our cohort DID design leverages the variation in locality and time of the circulation of Sci-Fi magazines. We show that for the individuals who exposed to Sci-Fi between age 12 and 22, the probability to become professional technicians are significantly higher, and their job task is more research-oriented. We provide evidence that the exposure to Sci-Fi magazines increases openness, encourages tolerance to differences, reduces religiosity, and raises risk preferences. Our findings highlight how individual exposure to new ideas in impressionable ages could have long-term impact on occupational choice and human capital formation.
