Essays in Applied Microeconomics Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of Economics, Harvard University, 2014 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Gender Differences; Socioeconomic Status (SES) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. In the second chapter, I examine growth in educational attainment over the past thirty years by gender and demographic characteristics. I show that both the rise in educational attainment and the rise of the female advantage in educational attainment occurred relatively similarly across socioeconomic status (SES). I also demonstrate how a prior result showing an increased gradient of education by SES used incorrect sampling weights and is not robust to a more permanent measure of SES. |
