Abstract

The Post-9/11 GI Bill represents significant public investment in and commitment to veterans who have served in the armed forces and those who will serve in the future. Recent studies have examined its effect on veterans’ college participation. In this study, Liang Zhang uses data from four waves of the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study between 2004 and 2016 to examine the effect of the Post-9/11 GI Bill on veterans’ college choices. This analysis finds, most notably, that veterans who received federal education benefits attended colleges in more expensive locations after the implementation of the bill. Moreover, a greater proportion of veterans attended private for-profit institutions instead of public institutions. Also, the bill had no significant impact on choices in terms of institution level as measured by four-year versus two-year colleges, Carnegie Classification, or program type (online versus in-person).
9/11后退伍军人法案如何影响退伍军人的本科选择?倾向得分在差异中差异模型中的应用
9/11后退伍军人法案代表着对曾在武装部队服役的退伍军人和未来服役的退伍军人的重大公共投资和承诺。最近的研究考察了它对退伍军人大学参与度的影响。在这项研究中,张亮使用了2004年至2016年间四波全国中学生资助研究的数据,来检验9/11后退伍军人法案对退伍军人大学选择的影响。这项分析发现,最值得注意的是,在法案实施后,获得联邦教育福利的退伍军人在更昂贵的地方上大学。此外,更大比例的退伍军人就读于私立营利性机构,而不是公立机构。此外,根据四年制大学与两年制大学、卡内基分类或课程类型(在线与面对面)衡量,该法案对机构级别的选择没有重大影响。
