摘要

摘要本研究利用耶稣基督后期圣徒教会传教计划的政策改变,外源性地影响女性在大学期间使用间隔时间的可能性,以了解间隔时间如何影响女性随后的专业选择和学业成果。如果有组织的间隔时间影响教育成果,那么增加女性对间隔时间的利用可能是改善后期工资差距的一种机制。利用杨百翰大学(Brigham Young University)的行政数据(N = 17,402)和工具变量估计策略,我们发现利用间隔时间从事传教服务的女性会转向期望薪水更高的专业,更有可能进入限制招生的专业和男性更集中的专业。然而,间隔时间降低了进入大学八年内毕业的可能性,造成了成本和收益之间的紧张关系。平均而言,预期工资的净收益接近于零。间隔时间最明显地有利于ACT分数相对较低的女性,她们更有可能在间隔时间后被有限的招生项目录取。这项研究告知大学管理者和学生都在寻求了解在高等教育期间计划休假的学术影响。

College Gap Time and Academic Outcomes for Women: Evidence from Missionaries
Abstract This study leverages a policy change in the missionary program of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that exogenously influenced the likelihood that a woman took gap time during college to understand how gap time influences women's subsequent choice of major and academic outcomes. If structured gap time shapes educational outcomes, increasing the uptake of gap time by women may be a mechanism to ameliorate later wage gaps. Using administrative data from Brigham Young University (N = 17,402) and an instrumental variables estimation strategy, we find that women who take gap time for missionary service shift into majors with higher expected salaries and are more likely to be in limited-enrollment majors and majors with a higher concentration of men. However, gap time decreases the likelihood of graduating within eight years of entering college, creating tension between the costs and benefits. On average, net benefits of expected wages are close to zero. Gap time most clearly benefits women with relatively low ACT scores who are more likely to be accepted into limited enrollment programs following gap time. This research informs university administrators and students alike seeking to understand the academic implications of taking planned time off during postsecondary education.
