中文摘要
利用得克萨斯州公立学校学生总体的行政面板数据，我分析了地方经济状况冲击如何影响教育和就业决策。我发现，处于学业能力分布底端的高中生在水力压裂繁荣的影响下工作更多、收入更高，且尽管这些学生上课出勤和高中毕业的可能性也有所下降，但这些收入增益一直持续到24—25岁。我的结果表明，对这些学生而言，接受教育的机会成本很大。（JEL H75, I21, I26, J24, J31, R23）
Abstract
Using administrative panel data on the universe of Texas public school students, I analyze how shocks to local economic conditions affect education and employment decisions. I find that high school students at the bottom of the academic ability distribution worked and earned more in response to the fracking boom and that these earnings gains persisted through ages 24–25 despite the fact that the same students also became less likely to attend classes and graduate from high school. My results suggest that the opportunity cost of education is large for these students. (JEL H75, I21, I26, J24, J31, R23)
