Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation introduces three essays on the short and long run consequences of educational choices. In the first essay "Conscription and the Returns to Education: Evidence from a Regression Discontinuity" we use a regression discontinuity design to first identify the effect of peacetime conscription on education and labor market outcomes. Results indicate that conscription eligibility induces a significant increase in years of education, which is consistent with conscription avoidance behavior. However, this increased education does not result in either an increase in graduation rates, or in employment and wages. Additional evidence shows conscription has no direct effect on earnings, suggesting that the returns to education induced by this policy was zero. In the second essay "Quality of Higher Education and Earnings: Regression Discontinuity Evidence from the French Baccalaureate", we use a regression discontinuity design to examine the returns to quality of postsecondary education. We compare the outcomes of students who marginally pass and fail the first round exams of the French Baccalaureate, a degree that students must earn to graduate from secondary school. Marginally passing increases the likelihood of attending a higher quality university and a STEM major. Threshold crossing also increases earnings by 13.6 percent at the age of 27 to 29. After ruling out other channels that could affect earnings, we conclude that increased access to higher quality postsecondary education leads to a significant earnings premium. In the third and final essay "Better or Best? High School Quality and Academic Performance" we look at the effects of attending a higher quality high school on the academic performance and college outcomes of young Chinese students. Specifically, in our analysis, we draw a distinction between going to a better school, regardless of tier, and going to a top-tier school. We find that college entrance exam test score gains and improved college outcomes are only realized for individuals attending the most elite set of high schools. These results are mainly driven by males as we find no significant effects on academic performance for females. Finally, we provide evidence suggesting that these academic gains are mostly due to variation in teacher quality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education matters. As attending college, and more recently pursing a graduate education, become more common endeavours, research on how students transition though the secondary and post-secondary educational systems is both vital and informative for students and policy-makers. My research centers around these transitions in and out of educational institutions and examines how specialized pathways through the educational system impact education. Here, I present three empirical investigations that speak to the efficacy of these specialized pathways to educate our youth, aid in transitions in and out of post-secondary institutions, and support graduates in their pursuit of advanced degrees. The first essay evaluates the efficacy of competitive magnet schools, one of many specialized K-12 pathways offered by public schools. The second essay analyzes the impact of a major federal financial aid policy change on the specialized paths of graduate students pursing a master's degree and their borrowing decisions. The third essay characterizes specialized pathways related to major choice in the post-secondary transition from undergraduate studies to graduate studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Toward EXcellence, Access, and Success (TEXAS) grant is the largest source of financial aid for higher education in Texas, created in 1999. In fiscal year 2017, it provided 72% of the total grants awarded by the state and granted funds to 58% of first-time freshmen who received any form of financial aid. Since its launch date, the TEXAS Grant program has been adjusted to better look after the best interest of students, institutions, and the state. Starting in fiscal year 2014, the state passed Senate Bill (SB) 28 establishing that from a pool of low-income eligible students, those deemed to be high-achievers should receive priority for initial year awards. In this dissertation I utilize descriptive statistics, statistical learning, and traditional statistical approaches to explore the financial aid situation in the state of Texas, with particular emphasis on the TEXAS Grant program and the modification included in SB 28. It is my hope that the information here included is useful to make policy decisions to ensure programs’ and institutions’ goals accomplishments, and guarantee students’ best interest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second chapter documents that a student's relative age is an important predictor of high school leadership activity. Relative age is a factor that is associated purely with school structure, rather than genetics or family background. State-specific school entry cut-offs induce systematic within-grade variation in student maturity, which in turn generate differences in leadership activity. Across three nationally representative samples that span three decades, the relatively oldest students are four to eleven percent more likely to be high school leaders.
