Capacities, Opportunities and Educational Investments: The Case of the High School Dropout Review of Economics and Statistics 61,1 (February 1979): 9-20. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/1924826 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: MIT Press Keyword(s): Dropouts; High School Curriculum; I.Q.; Parental Influences; Siblings The matter of dropping out becomes a social problem when the consequences of leaving high school early begin to impinge seriously on others, or when dropping out results from incomplete information--e.g., on income, employment or other prospects--which was available but not known to the student or when dropping out reflects inequality of educational opportunity. The external diseconomies from dropping out most frequently mentioned and measured are the social costs of the increased unemployment of the dropout and the resulting loss if taxable earnings or national output. Of course, there may be other social costs, some of which were mentioned in the introduction to this paper. But the extent of the relationship between dropping out and increased crime and drug usage, for example, is not well known. Nevertheless, by examining later waves of this cohort, it is possible to analyze the activities and labor market achievement of the dropouts subsequent to their leaving high school.
