摘要

我们调查了大学录取对劳动力市场美貌溢价的贡献。我们从中国和美国排名1至200的大学中抽取了1800名学生的社交媒体资料。中国的大学采用标准化考试成绩来录取学生。美国大学也利用课外活动。与“盲目录取”的做法一致，校友的美貌与他们在中国就读的学校的排名无关。在美国，上过高排名学校的白人男性更英俊，尤其是私立学校的学生。美女排名每上升一个百分点，学校排名就会上升半个百分点。

The college admissions contribution to the labor market beauty premium

We investigate the contribution of college admissions to the labor market beauty premium. We sampled 1800 social media profiles of students from universities ranked from 1 to 200 in China and the US. Chinese universities use standardized test scores for admissions. US universities use also extracurricular activities. Consistent with beauty-blind admissions, alumni's beauty is uncorrelated with the rank of the school they attended in China. In the US, White men who attended high-ranked schools are better looking, especially attendees of private schools. A one percentage point increase in beauty rank corresponds to a half-point increase in the school rank.
