Estimating the Returns to College Quality with Multiple Proxies for Quality (2006, background): “Dale and Krueger (2002) represents an intermediate case because of their access to data on which colleges students applied to and which colleges accepted them, variables not normally observed in studies of this type.”
How robust is the evidence on the effects of college quality? Evidence from matching (2004, background): “Recent papers in this literature include Black, Daniel, and Smith (2003a,b), Brand (2002), Brewer, Eide, and Ehrenberg (1999), Dale and Krueger (2002), Light and Strayer (2000) and Turner (1998). The basic finding is that college quality matters for later labor market outcomes.”
