本文采用潜在结果方法来识别和估计就读精英大学对教育和职业成就的平均治疗效果。一个中心目的是比较通过回归和调整精英大学入学率内生性的匹配方法得出的估计值。该分析跟踪了高中毕业和大学入学队列跨越四十年的劳动力参与情况，并估计了精英大学对教育程度、职业生涯早期、中期和后期的职业社会经济地位以及职业生涯中期和后期工资的影响。研究结果表明，就读精英大学在教育成就和职业地位方面具有优势；工资结果好坏参半。一个突出的模式是，与就读于非精英院校的其他同等学生所获得的回报相比，那些确实就读精英大学的学生所获得的回报很小。 (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
This paper adopts a potential outcome approach to identify and estimate the average treatment effect of attending an elite college on educational and career achievement. A central purpose is to compare the estimates yielded by regression and matching methods of adjusting for the endogeneity of elite college attendance. The analysis follows a high school graduation and college entry cohort across four decades of labor force participation, and estimates elite college effects on educational attainment, occupational socioeconomic status at early-, mid-, and late-career, and wages at mid- and late-career. The findings suggest that attending an elite college yields an advantage with respect to educational achievement and occupational status; results for wages are mixed. One prominent pattern is that the returns to attending an elite college for those who did attend are small by comparison to those that would have been achieved by otherwise equivalent students who attended non-elite institutions.
