中文摘要
旨在提高STEM领域多样性的"输送"（pipeline）项目很常见，但关于其有效性的严格证据很少。我们开展了一项随机对照试验，研究一组面向代表性不足的高中生、由一所顶尖技术院校主办的此类项目。获得STEM暑期项目席位的学生更有可能进入顶尖大学、坚持完成学业并毕业，也更有可能取得STEM领域的学位。这些大学教育成果的改善使预测收入提高了3%至15%。
Abstract
Pipeline programs intended to increase diversity in STEM fields are common, but there is little rigorous evidence of their efficacy. We fielded a randomized controlled trial to study a suite of such programs targeted to underrepresented high school students and hosted at an elite technical institution. Students offered seats in the STEM summer programs were likelier to enroll in, persist through, and graduate from elite colleges and to graduate with a degree in a STEM field. These improvements in college outcomes raised predicted earnings by 3–15 percent.
