Estimating the Returns to College Quality with Multiple Proxies for Quality (2006, methodology): “Empirically, aside from Fitzgerald (2000), Monks (2000), Zhang (2005), and our own papers (Daniel, Black, and Smith 1995, 1997; Black and Smith 2004; Black, Daniel, and Smith 2005), most of the literature adopts the following strategy.”
Running in Place: Low-Income Students and the Dynamics of Higher Education Stratification (2011, background): “Economists find that the economic returns of graduating from selective institutions are higher than for nonselective institutions, and these returns have increased over time (Brewer, Eide, & Ehrenberg, 1999; Hoxby & Long, 1998; Monks, 2000).”
Is a College Degree Still the Great Equalizer? Intergenerational Mobility across Levels of Schooling in the United States1 (2011, background): “…college” effect may be at least partially driven by academic performance and ability of recruits (Loury and Garman 1995; Brewer, Eide, and Ehrenberg 1999; Monks 2000; Dale and Krueger 2002), and it may vary depending on the outcome considered (Karabel and McClelland 1987; Brand and Halaby 2006).”
Small Differences That Matter: Mistakes in Applying to College (2015, background): “Many other studies ðe.g., Loury andGarman 1995; Behrman, Rosenzweig, and Taubman 1996; Monks 2000; Saavedra 2008Þ find that low-income students and minorities receive particularly high returns from attending selective colleges.”
Access Without Equity (2012, background): “Graduation from selective institutions is also associated with a range of positive labor market outcomes (Brewer, Eide, & Ehrenberg, 1999; Hoxby & Long, 1998; Monks, 2000).”
INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURES AND STUDENT ENGAGEMENT (2006, methodology): “It is interesting that positive findings for selectivity are all found within analyses that are based on nationally representative studies such as Baccalaureate and Beyond, High School and Beyond, the National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972, the National Longitudinal Survey of Y”
Econometric Studies of Higher Education. (2004, background): “While Monks (2000b) reports similar conclusions, Dale and Krueger (1999), who control for selection more directly based upon knowledge of at what other schools students were accepted, obtain different results.”
Changes in the Returns to Education and College Quality. (2010, unknown): “…Wales (1973), James, Alsalam, and Conaty (1989), Loury and arman (1995), Behrman, Rosenzweig, and Taubman (1996), Daniel et l. (1997), Bowen and Bok (1998), Hoxby (1998), Kane (1998), Brewer et l. (1999), Monks (2000), Hilmer (2002), Black and Smith (2004, 2006), ong (2008), and Hoekstra (2009).”
The Channeling of Student Competition in Higher Education: Comparing Canada and the U.S. (2005, background): “…positive effects on its graduates’ life chances (e.g. Brewer, Eide, & Ehrenberg, 1999; Dale & Krueger, 1999; Fitzgerald, 2000; Fox, 1993; Karen, 2002; Katchadourian & Boli, 1994; Kingston & Lewis, 1990; Loury & Garman, 1995; Monks, 2000; Mullen, Goyette, & Soares, 2003; Rumberger & Thomas, 1993).”
Estimating the Return to College Selectivity Over the Career Using Administrative Earning Data (2011, background): “Early research attempted to overcome this omitted-variable bias by controlling for observed student characteristics, such as high school grades, standardized test scores, and parental background (see, for example, Monks 2000 and Brewer and Ehrenberg 1996).”
Estimating the Effects of College Characteristics over the Career Using Administrative Earnings Data (2014, background): “For both cohorts, the effects of college characteristics on earnings are sizeable (and similar in magnitude) in standard regression models.”
