Abstract

ABSTRACT:Adverse local labor market shocks such as those generated by exposure of local industries to international trade have impacts on high school enrollment and completion that are theoretically ambiguous. Incentives to stay in school increase when employment prospects are weak, yet public resources for local schools may also shrink. This work demonstrates that, while high school enrollment rates increase significantly, high school degree attainment does not show commensurate growth. “Outmigration” of young adults and changes in the timing of degree receipt reconcile these measures. In addition, high school attainment effects are likely attenuated by declines in local resources per student.

注册会导致学业完成吗?衡量教育对当地劳动力市场冲击的调整

摘要:当地产业受国际贸易影响等不利的本地劳动力市场冲击对高中入学率和毕业率的影响在理论上是模糊的。当就业前景不佳时，留在学校的动机会增加，但当地学校的公共资源也可能会减少。这项工作表明，虽然高中入学率显著增加，但高中学历并未显示出相应的增长。年轻人的“外迁”和学位领取时间的变化与这些措施相一致。此外，高中学业成就的影响可能会因每个学生的当地资源下降而减弱。
