摘要

高等教育政策制定者关注的是第一代大学生的成功。在这项研究中，我们调查了一个可能影响第一代学生成绩的潜在因素：他们的同龄人。我们利用美国军事学院（西点军校）室友的分配，研究了第一代学生在第一学期的数学和英语成绩上，面对一个SAT分数高出一个标准差的室友的影响。在我们的主要规范中，我们没有检测到统计上显著的影响，尽管我们可以排除在最终课程成绩中大于0.05到0.07标准差的影响。

First generation college students and peer effects

Higher education policymakers are concerned about the success of first-generation college students. In this study, we investigate one potential factor that may influence the outcomes of first-generation students: their peers. We leverage the assignment of roommates at The United States Military Academy (West Point) to study the effect of being exposed to a roommate(s) with a one standard deviation higher SAT score on first-semester math and English grades for first-generation students. In our main specifications, we fail to detect statistically significant effects, though we can rule out effects larger than around 0.05 to 0.07 standard deviations in final course grades.
