1.	Smoothing the Transition to College?: The Effect of Tech-Prep Programs on Educational Attainment Economics of Education Review 25,4 (August 2006): 394-411. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0272775706000318 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): College Enrollment; Educational Attainment; High School Curriculum; High School Students; Modeling, Fixed Effects; Schooling, Post-secondary; Vocational Education; Vocational Training By promoting articulation agreements between high schools and community colleges, Tech-Prep programs aim to smooth the transition to college for the middle majority of US high school students. This paper employs a family fixed effects approach to assess the effectiveness of Tech-Prep programs in increasing educational attainment. Using data from six rounds of the 1997 NLSY and controlling for both selection and within-family spillovers, I find that Tech-Prep programs help participants complete high school and encourage enrollment in two-year colleges. On the other hand, these gains come at the expense of four-year college enrollment, suggesting that Tech-Prep programs may divert students from four-year to two-year colleges in the years immediately following high school. While Tech-Prep programs appear to increase overall educational attainment, they may be falling short of their goal of promoting college enrollment among the middle majority.

2.	The Labor Market Returns to a For-Profit College Education Economics of Education Review 43 (December 2014): 125-140. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0272775714000934 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): College Characteristics; College Degree; College Enrollment; Colleges; Earnings; Geocoded Data; Modeling, Fixed Effects A lengthy literature estimating the returns to education has largely ignored the for-profit sector. In this paper, we estimate the earnings gains to for-profit college attendance using restricted-access data from the 1997 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY97). Using an individual fixed effects estimation strategy that allows us to control for time-invariant unobservable characteristics of students, we find that students who enroll in associate's degree programs in for-profit colleges experience earnings gains of about 10 percent relative to high school graduates with no college degree, conditional on employment. Since associate's degree students attend for an average of 2.6 years, this translates to a 4 percent return per year of education in a for-profit college, slightly lower than estimates of returns for other sectors found in the literature.

This paper reviews the literature on poverty dynamics in the U.S. It surveys the most prevalent data, theories, and methods used to answer three key questions: How likely are people to enter, exit, and reenter poverty? How long do people remain in poverty? And what events are associated with entering and exiting poverty? The paper then analyzes the combined findings of the literature, discussing overarching patterns of poverty dynamics, differences among demographic groups, and how poverty probabilities, duration, and events have changed over time. We conclude with a discussion of the policy implications of these findings and avenues for future research. © 2008 by the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management.

4.	The Labor Market Returns to a For-Profit College Education Working Paper, Social Science Research Network (SSRN), June 17, 2012. Also: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2111598 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Social Science Electronic Publishing, Inc. Keyword(s): College Characteristics; College Degree; College Enrollment; Colleges; Earnings Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. A lengthy literature estimating the returns to education has largely ignored the for-profit sector. In this paper, we offer some of the first causal estimates of the earnings gains to for-profit colleges. We rely on restricted-use data from the 1997 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY97) to implement an individual fixed effects estimation strategy that allows us to control for time-invariant unobservable characteristics of students. We find that students who enroll in associate’s degree programs in for-profit colleges experience earnings gains between 6 and 8 percent, although a 95 percent confidence interval suggests a range from -2.7 to 17.6 percent. These gains cannot be shown to be different from those of students in public community colleges. Students who complete associate’s degrees in for-profit institutions earn around 22 percent, or 11 percent per year, and we find some evidence that this figure is higher than the returns experienced by public sector graduates. Our findings suggest that degree completion is an important determinant of for-profit quality and student success.
