Longitudinal cohort analysis reveals labor market outcomes in college graduates, highlighting the career-long earnings impact of institutional characteristics.
We estimate the labor market effect of attending a highly selective college, using the College and Beyond (C&B) Survey linked to Detailed Earnings Records from the Social Security Administration (SSA). This paper extends earlier work by In this analysis, we use administrative earnings data to estimate the effects of several college characteristics (that are commonly used as proxies for college quality) for a more recent cohort: students who entered college in 1989. We also estimate these effects for the 1976 cohort, but over a longer time horizon (from 1983 through 2007).
