Debt, Default, and Working: Essays on Higher Education Finance Ph.D. Dissertation, The George Washington University, 2012 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Keyword(s): Education; Employment, In-School; Modeling, Fixed Effects; School Performance Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. In the third essay, I examine the effect of working on grades and credit completion for undergraduate students in the United States and provide some of the first estimates of the effect of working on the academic performance on part-time students. I use student-level fixed effects models to control for permanent hard-to-measure and unobserved characteristics and also analyze the relationship between availability of financial resources, working, and academic performance through an instrumental variables approach. Results indicate that full-time students' grades and credit completion appear to be at most mildly harmed by increasing work hours, but I find little evidence of a detrimental impact of working for part-time students. |
