In 202122, Texas implemented a policy requiring all public high school seniors to complete a financial aid application. This paper examines the early impacts of this requirement on Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) completion rates and college enrollment using a difference-in-differences model. First, using a sample of high schools in Texas, I find that the FAFSA requirement increases FAFSA completion rates in public schools by 6.3 percentage points relative to private schools. Second, using a multi-valued discrete treatment, I find positive effects on FAFSA completion rates across all treated schools, ranging from 3.1 to 7 percentage points. Furthermore, this increase in FAFSA completion rates is associated with an increase in college enrollment for schools with lower pre-treatment FAFSA completion rates.
在2021 - 22年,德克萨斯州实施了一项政策,要求所有公立高中的高年级学生完成一份经济援助申请。本文使用差异中的差异模型检验了这一要求对免费申请联邦学生援助(FAFSA)完成率和大学入学率的早期影响。首先,我以德克萨斯州的高中为样本,发现FAFSA要求使公立学校的FAFSA完成率比私立学校提高了6.3个百分点。其次,使用多值离散处理,我发现在所有接受处理的学校中,FAFSA完成率都有积极影响,从3.1到7个百分点不等。此外,FAFSA完成率的增加与预处理前FAFSA完成率较低的学校的大学入学率增加有关。

The impact of pre-conference advice on academic talk effectiveness 会前建议对学术讲座效果的影响
IF 1.8 3区 经济学 Q2 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2025-02-01 Epub Date: 2024-11-24 DOI: 10.1016/j.econedurev.2024.102607

Utilizing a randomized controlled trial, we explore the effect of advice on presentation quality at a prestigious academic finance conference. Employing a panel of MTurk workers to evaluate presentations for effectiveness, our findings show that treated speakers are 0.22 standard deviations more likely to win a comparison for effectiveness against non-treated counterparts. We further corroborate these results by examining the treatment effects on presentation slides, overall presentation quality, Zoom talk attendance duration, and YouTube viewings. This evidence suggests that informing speakers about good presentation practices can substantially improve the effectiveness of conference talks.
通过随机对照试验,我们探讨了建议对著名学术金融会议演讲质量的影响。通过使用 MTurk 工作者小组对演讲效果进行评估,我们的研究结果表明,与未接受治疗的演讲者相比,接受治疗的演讲者在效果比较中获胜的可能性要高出 0.22 个标准差。我们通过研究处理对演讲幻灯片、整体演讲质量、Zoom 演讲出席时长和 YouTube 观看次数的影响,进一步证实了这些结果。这些证据表明,让演讲者了解良好的演讲方法可以大大提高会议演讲的效果。

Gender Gap in Teaching Evaluations and its Effect on Course Enrollments 教学评价中的性别差异及其对课程录取的影响
IF 1.8 3区 经济学 Q2 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2025-02-01 Epub Date: 2024-12-25 DOI: 10.1016/j.econedurev.2024.102617

The disparity in teaching evaluations between male and female instructors is well documented. This paper demonstrates that, even when controlling for specific components of the same evaluation surveys, students tend to give lower overall ratings to female instructors compared to their male counterparts. Importantly, on popular rating platforms used by students, the average overall ratings are more prominently displayed than the detailed components of these evaluations. To explore the potential implications of this, we analyze data from two widely used teaching evaluation tools at a U.S. public research university: the online platform RateMyProfessors.com (RMP) and official university-conducted evaluations. By merging RMP ratings, official evaluations, and course enrollment data, we find that RMP’s overall quality ratings have a greater influence on course enrollment than official evaluations, particularly affecting the enrollment decisions of female students. Additionally, our analysis reveals that conditional on all of these evaluations, male students have lower enrollment rates in the sections of the same courses offered by female instructors even when accounting for the average grades in these courses from previous semesters.
男女教师在教学评价上的差异是有据可查的。本文表明,即使控制了相同评估调查的特定组成部分,与男性同行相比,学生倾向于给予女性教师较低的总体评分。重要的是,在学生使用的流行评分平台上,平均总体评分比这些评估的详细部分更显着。为了探讨这种情况的潜在影响,我们分析了美国公立研究型大学两种广泛使用的教学评估工具的数据:在线平台RateMyProfessors.com (RMP)和官方大学进行的评估。通过合并RMP评分、官方评价和课程招生数据,我们发现RMP综合质量评分对课程招生的影响大于官方评价,尤其是对女生的招生决策的影响。此外,我们的分析显示,在所有这些评估的条件下,即使考虑到前几个学期这些课程的平均成绩,男性学生在女性教师提供的相同课程的部分中也有较低的入学率。

Does starting a Division III college football program benefit the institution? 开办三级大学橄榄球项目对学校有利吗?
IF 1.8 3区 经济学 Q2 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2025-02-01 Epub Date: 2025-01-11 DOI: 10.1016/j.econedurev.2025.102621

I ask whether the addition of a college football team playing at the Division III level effects three dimensions to an institution’s success: enrollment, gender balance, and endowment. I consider all higher education institutions in the U.S. which compete in Division III athletics and evaluate the impact of adding college football. I find that the overall effect on undergraduate enrollment is statistically indistinguishable from zero. Further, I show that the proportion of the student body who are women falls. Finally, I are unable to provide evidence that the drawing of the endowments prior to football’s adoption slowed.
我的问题是,在三级联赛中加入一支大学橄榄球队,是否会对一所大学的成功产生三个方面的影响:招生、性别平衡和捐赠。我考虑了美国所有参加三级体育比赛的高等教育机构,并评估了增加大学橄榄球的影响。我发现,从统计上看,对本科生入学率的总体影响几乎为零。此外,我表明学生中女性的比例下降了。最后,我无法提供证据证明,在足球被采用之前,捐赠基金的提取速度有所放缓。

Dropping out of university in response to the COVID-19 pandemic 为应对COVID-19大流行而辍学
IF 1.8 3区 经济学 Q2 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2025-02-01 Epub Date: 2024-12-03 DOI: 10.1016/j.econedurev.2024.102604

This study empirically examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on university students’ enrollment behaviors using a comprehensive database of university enrollments from 2012 to 2022. Our analysis reveals a 3.7% decline in the probability of re-enrollment for the subsequent academic year among the first cohort affected by the pandemic. This effect is particularly pronounced among students entering university, as well as among non-free lunch students, international students, and male students. The medium-term analysis indicates that the pandemic led to a significant shift in enrollment behaviors, decreasing the likelihood of enrolling in subsequent years and reducing graduation rates two years after the pandemic. Moreover, we find that exposure to stricter lockdown policies led to a 3.8% decrease in enrollment behaviors. We investigate three potential mechanisms: (i) exposure to the pandemic, (ii) labor market opportunities, and (iii) university quality. However, we find little evidence to support that these factors are significantly associated with changes in enrollment behaviors. These findings contribute to our understanding of the disruptive consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on students’ educational trajectories and highlight its lasting impact on enrollment behaviors.
本研究利用2012 - 2022年高校招生综合数据库,实证检验了新冠肺炎疫情对大学生招生行为的影响。我们的分析显示,在受大流行影响的第一个队列中,下一学年重新入学的可能性下降了3.7%。这种影响在进入大学的学生、非免费午餐学生、国际学生和男生中尤为明显。中期分析表明,大流行导致了入学行为的重大转变,降低了随后几年入学的可能性,并在大流行两年后降低了毕业率。此外,我们发现,受到更严格的封锁政策的影响,入学行为减少了3.8%。我们调查了三个潜在的机制:(i)暴露于大流行,(ii)劳动力市场机会,(iii)大学质量。然而,我们发现很少有证据支持这些因素与入学行为的变化显著相关。这些发现有助于我们了解COVID-19大流行对学生教育轨迹的破坏性后果,并强调其对入学行为的持久影响。

Does intelligence shield children from the effects of parental non-employment? 智力是否能保护孩子免受父母失业的影响?

Current literature offers several potential channels through which jobless parents can affect children. In this paper, I provide new evidence based on variation across intelligence of children. The results suggest that loss of human capital investments into children is the driving mechanism. I find that gap in education widens with higher intelligence, while the gap in labour-market outcomes narrows. I rationalise these findings using the skill formation and employer learning theories.
目前的文献提供了失业父母影响孩子的几个潜在渠道。在本文中,我提供了基于儿童智力差异的新证据。研究结果表明,对儿童人力资本投资的损失是驱动机制。我发现,智商越高,教育方面的差距越大,而劳动力市场结果方面的差距则越小。我使用技能形成和雇主学习理论来合理化这些发现。

We conducted an at-scale randomized control trial among 18,281 secondary students in Tanzania to examine the effects of self-set academic goals on students’ efforts and academic outcomes. We also tested the impact of combining goal setting with non-financial rewards. We found that goal-setting had a significant positive effect on self-reported student time use, study effort, and self-discipline, along with a positive but statistically insignificant impact on test performance. We also found that combining goal setting with recognition awards for achieving the goals did not demonstrate any complementary effects. Heterogeneity analysis suggested that goal-setting had a higher impact on test performance for students in the middle of the distribution of baseline learning levels. We also found that the impact of the treatment did not vary significantly across students’ gender, socioeconomic background, or type of chosen goals.
我们在坦桑尼亚的 18281 名中学生中开展了一项大规模随机对照试验,以检验自我设定的学业目标对学生的努力和学业成绩的影响。我们还测试了目标设定与非经济奖励相结合的影响。我们发现,目标设定对学生自我报告的时间使用、学习努力和自律有显著的积极影响,同时对考试成绩也有积极影响,但在统计上并不显著。我们还发现,将目标设定与实现目标的表彰奖励结合起来,并没有显示出任何互补效应。异质性分析表明,目标设定对处于基线学习水平分布中间的学生的考试成绩影响较大。我们还发现,不同性别、社会经济背景或所选目标类型的学生对治疗效果的影响没有显著差异。

Expecting less in hard times: How the state of the economy influences students’ educational expectations 困难时期期望值降低:经济状况如何影响学生的教育期望
IF 1.8 3区 经济学 Q2 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2024-12-01 Epub Date: 2024-11-12 DOI: 10.1016/j.econedurev.2024.102606

Students’ realistic aspirations about their educational attainment (expectations) are predictive of their efforts, actions, and future outcomes. Limited evidence suggests these expectations are affected by the macroeconomy; however, the direction is ambiguous. We combine seven waves of Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) data to examine this relationship in 38 OECD countries. Using within-country fixed-effect regressions, we find students have significantly lower educational expectations when GDP growth is low or negative. Assessing the heterogeneity of these relationships, we find that the expectations of students with below-average reading skills or who attend non-metropolitan schools are most strongly affected by the state of the economy. The results also suggest that when GDP growth is weak, students are significantly more likely to complete zero homework and arrive late to school, are less likely to participate in extracurricular academic programs, and expect lower labour market returns to completed education.
学生对其教育成就的现实期望(期望值)可以预测他们的努力、行动和未来结果。有限的证据表明,这些期望会受到宏观经济的影响;然而,影响的方向并不明确。我们结合国际学生评估项目(PISA)的七波数据,研究了 38 个经合组织国家的这种关系。通过国内固定效应回归,我们发现当 GDP 增长率较低或为负数时,学生的教育期望会明显降低。在评估这些关系的异质性时,我们发现阅读能力低于平均水平或就读于非大都市学校的学生的期望值受经济状况的影响最大。结果还表明,当 GDP 增长乏力时,学生完成零作业和迟到的几率明显增加,参加课外学术项目的几率降低,完成教育后的劳动力市场回报预期降低。

Comprehensive early literacy policy and the “Mississippi Miracle” 全面的早期扫盲政策和 "密西西比奇迹"

In 2013, Mississippi ranked 49th in fourth grade reading achievement on the National Assessment of Education Progress. By 2019, the state ranked 29th. I study whether Mississippi’s 2013 Literacy-Based Promotion Act (LBPA), a multi-faceted strategy for improving K-3 literacy, played a part in this ascension. Using a synthetic difference-in-differences approach, I estimate that the LBPA meaningfully improved grade 4 reading and math test scores on the national assessment.
2013 年,密西西比州在 "全国教育进展评估 "中的四年级阅读成绩排名为第 49 位。到 2019 年,该州排名第 29 位。我研究了密西西比州 2013 年颁布的《基于读写能力的促进法案》(LBPA)--一项旨在提高 K-3 年级读写能力的多层面战略--是否在这一排名上升过程中发挥了作用。通过使用合成差分法,我估计 LBPA 有意义地提高了四年级在全国评估中的阅读和数学考试成绩。

Correctional education is prevalent but costly. However, there is limited evidence on how educational programs affect outcomes like recidivism. This paper examines the impact of correctional education downsizing on reincarceration likelihood, focusing on the Windham School District within the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. In the 2012 academic year, educational programs in certain facilities were downsized due to budget cuts. Using released inmates and campus profiles data, and a difference-in-difference strategy, the study finds that inmates released from downsized facilities are 11% less likely to be reincarcerated within 12 months. Although I cannot rule out other mechanisms, suggestive evidence shows that higher gains accrued to students who remained in the program. These students might have benefited from smaller class sizes and better peer composition, potentially offsetting the negative effects of fewer inmates receiving training. The study underscores the need for targeted and efficiency in correctional education programs.

惩教教育十分普遍,但成本高昂。然而,关于教育项目如何影响累犯等结果的证据却很有限。本文以德克萨斯州刑事司法部温德姆学区为研究对象,探讨了惩教教育缩减对再监禁可能性的影响。2012 学年,由于预算削减,某些监狱的教育项目被缩减。研究利用获释囚犯和校园概况数据,并采用差异策略,发现从缩减规模的设施中获释的囚犯在 12 个月内再次入狱的可能性降低了 11%。尽管我不能排除其他机制的影响,但暗示性证据显示,留在项目中的学生获得了更高的收益。这些学生可能得益于较小的班级规模和较好的同伴构成,从而有可能抵消接受培训的囚犯人数减少所带来的负面影响。这项研究强调了矫治教育项目需要有针对性和高效性。
