摘要
我们估算了密苏里州社区学院两年制技术学位课程的教育和收入回报。密苏里州的一个独特之处在于,该州有一所在全国排名靠前、备受推崇的技术学院,即密苏里州立技术学院(State Technical College of Missouri):密苏里州立技术学院(State Tech)。我们发现,在密苏里州就读技术专业会增加获得副学士学位的可能性和入学后的收入,但在全州范围内产生积极影响的主要是就读于州立技术学院的学生。这些研究结果表明,表现出色的社区学院有可能改变学生的教育和劳动力市场轨迹。与此同时,这些研究还证明了中学后教育的回报可能存在巨大的机构异质性。
Institutional heterogeneity in the education and earnings returns to postsecondary technical education: Evidence from Missouri
We estimate the education and earnings returns to enrolling in technical 2‐year degree programs at community colleges in Missouri. A unique feature of the Missouri context is the presence of a highly regarded, nationally ranked technical college: State Technical College of Missouri (State Tech). We find that enrolling in a technical program in Missouri increases the likelihood of associate degree attainment and post‐enrollment earnings, but that the positive effects statewide are driven largely by students who attend State Tech. These findings demonstrate the potential for a high‐performing community college to change students' education and labor market trajectories. At the same time, they exemplify the potential for substantial institutional heterogeneity in the returns to postsecondary education.
