ABSTRACT Inefficient targeting of students at risk of dropping out might explain why dropout-reducing efforts often have no or mixed effects. In this study, we present a new method which uses a series of machine learning algorithms to efficiently identify students at risk and makes the sensitivity/precision trade-off inherent in targeting students for dropout prevention explicit. Data of a Dutch vocational education institute is used to show how out-of-sample machine learning predictions can be used to formulate invitation rules in a way that targets students at risk more effectively, thereby facilitating early detection for effective dropout prevention.

Using a sample of college-educated Hispanics from the 2016–2017 American Community Survey we examine the role of potential social networks on the education-occupation mismatch for Hispanics in the U.S. To do this, we use a novel data-driven index to measure the degree of education-occupation mismatch, while potential networks are measured using the share of Hispanics at the MSA level. We find that networks improve job-match quality for college-educated Hispanics, with effects that are significantly larger for Hispanic citizens when networks consist of the proportion of Hispanics with college degrees. Our findings are robust to other indices of education mismatch.
