The Effect of Remediation on Two-Year College Students Presented: New Orleans LA, American Economic Association Annual Meeting, January 2023 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: American Economic Association Keyword(s): College Degree; College Major/Field of Study/Courses; State-Level Data/Policy Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Three quarter of first year community college students take at least one developmental course and yet their effectiveness remain ambiguous. Developmental education increases years spent in the college and it also better prepares students for the college-level courses. This paper assesses these two opposing impacts by using state developmental education policies as an instrumental variable for developmental course taking. Results using the NLSY97 transcript data indicate that taking developmental courses significantly increases one's probability of obtaining an associate's degree while increasing the total years spent in the college. A sequential model of education is presented to understand more about the complementarities between development and college-level courses. |
