摘要

作为家中第一个上大学的学生，他们的收入预期有何不同？他们如何影响学习领域的选择？我们利用独特的调查和管理数据来记录FiF和非FiF学生之间预期收入的巨大差距。我们的数据可以解释这一差距的三分之二，其中最大的份额归因于研究领域的选择。我们发现，FiF学生对学习领域的分类较少基于他们的收入预期。在调查可能的解释时，我们发现在高收入领域，金融创新学生比非金融创新学生对自身能力和非工资福利的期望更低。

Earnings expectations of “First-in Family” university students and their role for major choice

How do students’ earnings expectations differ by being the first in their family to attend university (FiF) and how do they affect field of study choice? We leverage unique survey and administrative data to document sizable gaps in expected earnings between FiF and non-FiF students. Our data can explain two-thirds of this gap, with the largest share attributable to field of study choice. We show that FiF students sort less into study fields based on their earnings expectations. Investigating potential explanations, we find that in high-earning fields, FiF students expect lower own ability and worse non-wage amenities than non-FiF students.
