中文摘要

利用近 120 万名黑人 SAT 考生的数据，我们发现，最初就读于传统黑人学院和大学（HBCU）的学生，与未就读 HBCU 的学生相比，获得学士学位的可能性高出 14.6 个百分点，并且在约 30 岁时家庭收入高出 5%、学生贷款余额多 12,000 美元。我们发现，这些结果在很大程度上源于：学生更有可能从入学门槛相对较宽的 HBCU 获得学位，从而替代了就读两年制学院或不上大学的选择。（JEL G51, I23, I26, J15, J31）

Abstract

Using data from nearly 1.2 million Black SAT takers, we find that students initially enrolling in a historically Black college and university (HBCU) are 14.6 percentage points more likely to earn a bachelor’s degree and, around age 30, have 5 percent higher household income and $12,000 more in student loan balances than those who do not enroll in an HBCU. We find that results are largely driven by an increased likelihood of completing a degree from relatively broad-access HBCUs in lieu of a two-year college or no college. (JEL G51, I23, I26, J15, J31)
