Is the Effect of Grades on Early Career Income General or Conditional?
Pascarella, Ernest T.; Smart, John C.
Review of Higher Education, v14 n1 p83-99 Fall 1990
A national follow-up study of 3,420 college students found (1) the net positive impact of grades on earnings substantially greater for Black men than White; (2) that grades' impact was not conditioned by college selectivity, major, college race, job type, or employer type; and (3) that direct effects alone underestimate grade impact substantially for women.
