中文摘要

摘要：本文提供了关于高中平均绩点（GPA）对个人人力资本发展和劳动力市场轨迹之因果效应的新证据。因果识别得益于挪威教育体系的一个独特特征，该特征在高中学生中产生了GPA的外生变异。我们发现，GPA对完成高等教育的年限影响很小，但对学生高中毕业后可获得的高等教育项目的数量和质量具有显著影响。最重要的是，我们发现GPA对学生长期劳动力市场结果具有持续性影响，其中最显著的是市场工资。

Abstract

Abstract This paper provides novel evidence on the causal effect of high school Grade Point Average (GPA) on the human capital development and labor market trajectory of individuals. Causal identification is achieved by exploiting a unique feature of the Norwegian education system that produces exogenous variation in GPA among high school students. We find little effect on the number of completed years of higher education, but significant effects on the number and quality of higher education programs available to students after high school. Most importantly, we find persistent effects on students’ long-run labor market outcomes, most notably market wage.
