以下是这篇文章的主要摘要，求助网友，这里的Scheduled Castes (SCs) 怎么翻译？这篇论文摘要主要说了什么意思？个人理解有点不清晰
This paper estimates the constituency-level development effects of quotas for the
Scheduled Castes (SCs) in India, using a unique dataset of development indicators for
more than 3,100 state assembly constituencies in 15 Indian states in 1971 and 2001.
Matching constituencies on pretreatment variables from 1971, I find that 30 years of
quotas had no detectable constituency-level effect on overall development or
redistribution to SCs. Interviews with politicians and civil servants in 2010 and 2011
suggest that these findings can be explained by the power of political parties and the
electoral incentives created by the quota system. (JEL D72, J15, O15, O17, Z13)
