High School Clubs Participation and Earnings Working Paper, Department of Economics, Cleveland State University, 2010 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Department of Economics, Cleveland State University Keyword(s): Earnings; Extracurricular Activities/Sports; High School; Modeling, Fixed Effects; Modeling, Instrumental Variables; Siblings Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper estimates the effect of participation in high school extracurricular activities on future earnings, making three important contributions to the existing literature: 1) it compares the earnings effects of participation in different types of clubs; 2) it investigates whether the effect of clubs participation is constant over time; and 3) it employs a new estimation strategy in order to identify a causal link between clubs participation and wages. Using the NLSY79 dataset, I find that participation in high school clubs leads to higher future earnings. While previous studies have focused on athletics, I show that participation in both athletics and academic clubs have positive earnings effects. These results are robust to various estimation routines and robustness checks. |
