本文报道的证据表明，根据大学毕业 18 个月后的自我评估，在高中与学习辅导员进行单独会面可以显着提高高等教育领域选择的质量。为了解决内生性问题，我们探讨了学校之间学习咨询实践的差异作为工具变量（IV）。在仔细审查 IV 的有效性之后，我们的结果表明，学习咨询对教育选择的质量具有显着而积极的影响，尤其是对男性和父母教育程度较低的人。经过多次稳健性检查，总体结果是稳定的。
This paper reports evidence that an individual meeting with a study counselor at high school significantly improves the quality of choice of tertiary educational field, as self-assessed 18 months after graduation from college. To address endogeneity, we explore the variation in study counseling practices between schools as an instrumental variable (IV). Following careful scrutiny of the validity of the IV, our results indicate a significant and positive influence of study counseling on the quality of educational choice, foremost among males and those with low educated parents. The overall result is stable across a number of robustness checks.
