This study examines the actual school versus labor force participation choices by focusing on the way in which personal and economic factors alter the distribution of such choices. A multinomial logit model is used to predict the cells in Markov transition probability matrices. In addition, the sensitivity of the probability predictions to variation in selected predetermined variables is examined. A secondary goal of this paper is the comparison of empirical results obtained for white and black youths using a procedure implied by Coleman. |
