The Effects of High School Athletic Participation on Education and Labor Market Outcomes The Review of Economics and Statistics 82,3 (August 2000): 409-421.

Class of 1972; Sports (also see ATHLETICS); Time Use; Wage Effects; Wages Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. We introduce a simple allocation-of-time model to explain the high school athletic participation choice and the implications of this choice for educational and labor market outcomes. Four different factors that could explain athletic participation are identified in the context of this model. A variety of tests of the model are provided using two data sets: the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and the National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972. We find some evidence that athletic participation directly affects wages and educational attainment. However, much of the effect of athletic participation on wages and educational attainment appears to reflect differences across individuals in ability or value of leisure. |

Alcohol and Student Performance: Estimating the Effect of Legal Access Journal of Health Economics 32,1 (January 2013): 22-32. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0167629612001476 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Educational Attainment; Gender Differences; School Performance We consider the effect of legal access to alcohol on student achievement. Our preferred approach identifies the effect through changes in one's performance after gaining legal access to alcohol, controlling flexibly for the expected evolution of grades as one makes progress towards their degree. We also report RD-based estimates but argue that an RD design is not well suited to the research question in our setting. We find that students’ grades fall below their expected levels upon being able to drink legally, but by less than previously documented. We also show that there are effects on women and that the effects are persistent. Using the 1997 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, we show that students drink more often after legal access but do not consume more drinks on days on which they drink. |
