The Effect of Promoting Access to Community Colleges on Educational and Labor Market Outcomes Labour Economics 85 (December 2023). Also: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.labeco.2023.102438 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): College Degree; College Education; College Enrollment; Colleges; Community College; Dynamic Discrete Choice Mode; Education; Educational Attainment; Educational Outcomes; Financial Assistance; Higher Education; Income; Labor Economics; Labor Market Outcomes; School Progress; Schooling, Post-secondary; Tuition; Tuition Subsidy Community colleges offer an affordable postsecondary education and serve as a stepping stone to a four-year college degree. However, it is unclear how increased access to community colleges affects educational and labor market outcomes. To investigate this issue, I estimate a structural model of employment and college choices and evaluate policy interventions designed to promote access to community colleges: tuition subsidies and easier transition from two- to four-year colleges. I find that tuition subsidies at two-year colleges increase enrollment in community colleges and the average lifetime income but decrease four-year college degree attainment. In addition, I show that the transfer policy decreases enrollment in both two- and four-year colleges but increases bachelor’s degree attainment for high-ability students. |
