中文摘要
本文研究一项随机对照试验的效应，该试验中，加拿大高中生被随机邀请在高中期间参加职业指导项目，和/或获得以大学入学为条件的额外经济资助资格。我利用行政记录考察这些干预对大学入学、毕业以及截至29岁收入的影响。指导干预提高了学生的四年制大学入学率和毕业率，并对个体成年后的收入产生了正向影响。经济资助干预尽管也增加了大学入学，但其对个体成年后收入的影响显著更低。(JEL D12, I21, I22, I23, I28, J31)
Abstract
This paper studies the effects of a randomized control trial in which Canadian high school students were randomly invited to participate in a career guidance program during high school and/or made eligible for extra financial aid conditional on college enrollment. I use administrative records to examine the effects of the interventions on college enrollment, graduation, and income up to age 29. The guidance intervention increased students’ four-year college enrollment and graduation rates and had positive effects on individuals’ income in adulthood. The financial aid intervention had a significantly lower impact on individuals’ income in adulthood despite also increasing college enrollment. (JEL D12, I21, I22, I23, I28, J31)
