In this paper, I use the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 Cohort (NLSY79) data set to study the return of Federal Work-Study program on the post-college earnings. The well-known selection-bias problem and the heterogeneous responses to the program among students are addressed under the Bjorklund and Moffitt (1987) framework. But we estimate the model both parametrically and nonparametrically. The parametric approach is switch regression under joint normal assumption and the nonparametric approach is local nonlinear least square estimator of Gozalo and Linton (forthcoming). In our model we can estimate different types of treatment effects, namely average treatment effect, treatment effect on the treated and marginal treatment effect. Each of them is conceptually different and has different implication from the policy point of view.
