获得普通教育发展（GED）证书的选择改变了高中生面临的激励措施。本文评估了三种不同的GED政策创新对高中毕业率的影响。GED通过率下降6个百分点，高中辍学率下降1.3个百分点。在俄勒冈州的高中引入GED认证计划，导致高中毕业率下降了4%。在加州引入普通教育证书使辍学率增加了3个百分点。GED计划导致学生从高中辍学。
The option to obtain a General Educational Development (GED) certificate changes the incentives facing high school students. This article evaluates the effect of three different GED policy innovations on high school graduation rates. A 6-point decrease in the GED pass rate produced a 1.3-point decline in high school dropout rates. The introduction of a GED certification program in high schools in Oregon produced a 4% decrease in high school graduation rates. Introduction of GED certificates for civilians in California increased the dropout rate by 3 points. The GED program induces students to drop out of high school.
