本文采用校内/跨队列设计，提出了高中同学特征对广泛的中学后结果的影响的新证据。我们发现，母亲受过大学教育的同学比例的增加降低了辍学的可能性，增加了上大学的可能性，尽管对一系列在校成绩，态度和行为没有影响。来自弱势少数群体的学生的百分比并没有显示出对中学后的结果有任何影响，但与学生报告不太关心的师生关系和一些不良的学生行为在高中期间的患病率增加。(JEL I21，J13，J15）
This paper uses a within-school/across-cohort design to present new evidence of the effects of high school classmate characteristics on a wide range of post-secondary outcomes. We find that increases in the percent of classmates with college-educated mothers decreases the likelihood of dropping out and increases the likelihood of attending college, despite showing no impact on a range of in-school achievement, attitudes, and behaviors. The percent of students from disadvantaged minority groups does not show any effects on post-secondary outcomes, but is associated with students reporting less caring student-teacher relationships and increased prevalence of some undesirable student behaviors during high school.
