The Returns to School Quality: College Choice and Earnings.
Strayer, Wayne
Journal of Labor Economics, v20 n3 p475-503 2002
Examines the effects of high school quality on earnings, suggesting that school quality affects the student's choice of college, and college choice then affects the individual's post-school earnings, and that additional skills accumulated via a higher quality school directly influence wages. High school quality influences earnings by affecting college choice. Direct effects of school quality on earnings are less evident. (SM)
