the effect of increasing education efficiency on University Enrollment evidence from administrative data and an unusual schooling reform in germany
Journal of Human Resources, 2018Co-Authors: Jan Marcus, Vaishali ZambreAbstract:We examine the consequences of compressing secondary schooling for University Enrollment. An unusual education reform in Germany reduced the length of academic high school while simultaneously increasing the instruction hours in the remaining years. Accordingly, students receive the same amount of schooling but over a shorter period of time. Based on a difference-indifferences approach and using administrative data on all students in Germany, we find that this reform decreased University Enrollment rates. Moreover, students are more likely to delay their Enrollment, to drop out of University, and to change their major We discuss supply-side restrictions, age differences, and increased workload during school as potential mechanisms and present back-of-the-envelope cost–benefit considerations showing that the earnings gain from an extended labor market participation may still offset the adverse effects presented in this study.

2016Co-Authors: Jan Marcus, Vaishali ZambreAbstract:We examine the consequences of compressing secondary schooling on students’ University Enrollment. An unusual education reform in Germany reduced the length of academic high school while simultaneously increasing the instruction hours in the remaining years. Accordingly, students receive the same amount of schooling but over a shorter period of time, constituting an efficiency gain from an individual’s perspective. Based on a difference-indifferences approach using administrative data on all students in Germany, we find that this reform decreased Enrollment rates. Moreover, students are more likely to delay their Enrollment, to drop out of University, and to change their major. Our results show that it is not easy to get around the trade-off between an earlier labor market entry and more years of schooling.

the effect of selective public research University Enrollment evidence from california
2018Co-Authors: Zachary BleemerAbstract:What are the benefits and costs of attending a selective public research University instead of a less-selective University or college? This study examines the 2001-2011 Eligibility in the Local Context (ELC) program, which guaranteed University of California admission to students in the top four percent of California high school classes. Employing a regression discontinuity design, I estimate that ELC pulled 8 percent of marginally-admitted students into four “Absorbing” UC campuses from less-competitive public institutions in California. Those ELC compliers had lower SAT scores and family incomes than their eventual peers; almost half were under-represented minorities (URM), and 65 percent came from the state’s bottom SAT quartile of high schools. Nevertheless, marginally eligible students became more than 20 percentage points more likely to earn a University degree within 5 years, though URM and lessprepared students became less likely to earn STEM degrees. Students’ net expected earnings conditional on University completion, major, and gender substantially increased across subgroups, and linked state employment records suggest an increase in URM students’ average early-career earnings.

role model effects of female stem teachers and doctors on early 20th century University Enrollment in california
2016Co-Authors: Zachary BleemerAbstract:Research & Occasional Paper Series: CSHE.10.16 University OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY http://cshe.berkeley.edu/ ROLE MODEL EFFECTS OF FEMALE STEM TEACHERS AND DOCTORS ON EARLY 20 TH CENTURY University Enrollment IN CALIFORNIA December 2016 Zach Bleemer UC Berkeley Copyright 2016 Zach Bleemer, all rights reserved. ABSTRACT What was the role of imperfect local information in the growth, gender gap, and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) major selection of early 20th century American universities? In order to examine pre-1950 American higher education, this study constructs four rich panel datasets covering most students, high school teachers, and doctors in the state of California between 1893 and 1946 using recently-digitized administrative and commercial directories. Students attending large California universities came from more than 600 California towns by 1910, with substantial geographic heterogeneity in female participation and STEM major selection. About 43 percent of University students in 1900 were women, and the number of women attending these universities increased by more than 500 percent between 1900 and 1940. Meanwhile, the number of California towns with female high school physics or chemistry teachers doubled between 1903 and 1923, while the proportion of towns with a female doctor increased from 20 to 26 percent (adding almost 60 towns) during the same period. Event study regression analysis shows that towns became 9-15 percentage points more likely to send at least one female student to the institutions examined in this study after the arrival of their first female high school physics or chemistry teacher or female doctor, implying a 2 percentage point increase in the likelihood of young women’s college attendance, but that the arrival of female STEM teachers decreases the likelihood of a town’s sending a male STEM student to University by 10 percentage points. This study establishes the role of limited information and social networks in early 20th century educational choices, and has implications for both historical growth accounting and contemporary educational practices in developing economies. It also provides a window into the tremendous socioeconomic mobility afforded by California’s commitment to mass higher education. This is the first of several planned studies that are part of the new UC Cliometric History Project based as CSHE in anticipation of UC’s 150 th anniversary.

Teaching is hard and boring. So you’re telling me to be bored, and then bored, and then finally bored again, this time for the rest of my life ... It’s not enough to educate us any more, Mrs. Walters. You’ve got to tell us why you’re doing it.’ ∼ Nick Hornby, An Education (directed by Lone Scherfig) ∼ Between the 1900 and 1950 birth cohorts, Americans’ average educational attainment increased from grade 8 to grade 12, and the proportion of both men and women who attended college more than quadrupled. How did this massive expansion of secondary and post-secondary education shape growth, gender roles, and technological advancement in the United States? Building on a large empirical literature studying the determinants of college attendance, the University gender gap, and the selection of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields in the United States 1 , this study examines the function of Thanks to David Card, Brad DeLong, John Douglass, Barry Eichengreen, Claudia Goldin, Jasjeet Sekhon, Christopher Walters, and Basit Zafar as well as seminar participants at the All-California Labor Economics Conference, the UC Berkeley Economic History Lunch, the UC Berkeley Graduate Student Summer Seminar, and the Center for Studies in Higher Education Seminar for helpful comments.

Rising Tuition and Supply Constraints: Explaining Canada-U.S. Differences in University Enrollment Rates *
2004Co-Authors: Nicole M. FortinAbstract:This paper exploits differences across the Canadian provinces and U.S. states in the evolution of cohort size, tuition levels and provincial/state appropriations per-college-age person from 1973 to 1999, to investigate cross-country differences in University/4 -year college public Enrollment rates. For the entire period, the elasticity of Enrollment rates with respect to tuition levels is found to be the same in both countries at about -0.15. Provincial/state appropriations percollege-age person are also found to have played a determining role, especially in the 1970s when real tuition plummeted and in the 1990s when these sources of funding flattered.

Decision support for University Enrollment management: Implementation and experience
Decision Support Systems, 2007Co-Authors: Elliot Maltz, Kenneth E. Murphy, Michael L. HandAbstract:Enrollment management is a process critical to many universities that rely on tuition for a significant portion of their operating budgets. This study describes how the development and implementation of a system to support decisions in the Enrollment process allowed for increased responsiveness and real-time management as well as substantially increased institutional knowledge of the process itself. This, in turn, led to dramatic improvements in both operational performance and in the attainment of strategic admission objectives.
