Essays on the Economics of Education Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of Economics, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011.

The Effect of College Type on Income: This essay measures the differential return to college type (as defined by the Carnegie Classifications). Using data from the NLSY79, I find that graduates of traditional liberal arts colleges have similar incomes to graduates of other types in the first ten years of their careers, but receive a wage premium of up to twenty-five percent in later years. In contrast, graduates of professional oriented bachelor's colleges earn as much as twenty-nine percent less than other graduates through out their careers, and Research I graduates receive a ten percent premium. Results are similar for both regression models and propensity score matching methods. |
