Labor Market Effects of High School Athletic Participation: Evidence from Wage and Fringe Benefit Differentials Journal of Sports Economics 8,3 (June 2007): 255-265 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Athletics (see SPORTS); Benefits, Fringe; High School; Human Capital; Labor Market Outcomes; Occupational Choice; Skills; Sports (also see ATHLETICS); Wage Differentials; Wage Levels Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This article provides new empirical evidence on the labor market effects of participating in high school athletics. The study uses the 1990 wave of the National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth data set, which allows for the examination of a broad set of fringe benefits and provides a rich set of control variables. The major finding of this study is that former high school athletes fare better in terms of both components of the compensation structure (i.e., wages and fringe benefits) than their nonathlete counterparts. |
