Essays on Economics of Human Capital and Natural Resources Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of Economics, University of Hawai'i at Manoa, 2019 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Keyword(s): Noncognitive Skills; Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) (see Self-Esteem); Rotter Scale (see Locus of Control); Schooling Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. In the third essay, we use exogenous variation in student aid eligibility in 1982 that took place in the United States to study the impact of schooling on non-cognitive skills. Following Heckman (2006) we apply Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scores and the Rotter Locus of Control Scale from NLSY79 dataset as measurements of non-cognitive skills. Our results suggest that schooling has a positive impact on non-cognitive abilities such that it increases internal locus of control and it improves self-esteem. |
