有很多公开讨论，但几乎没有证据表明高中课程对高等教育和劳动力市场成功的影响。我利用美国高中课程的巨大差异来确定特定课程对工资和教育程度的影响。主要的发现是，在学术科目上额外课程的回报很小。人们不能用一个典型学生在一年中所修课程的价值来估计高中一年的价值。
There is much public discussion but almost no evidence on the effects of high school curriculum on postsecondary education and on success in the labor market. I use the large variation in curriculum across US high schools to identify the effects on wages and educational attainment of specific courses of study. The main finding is that the return to additional courses in academic subject is small. One cannot account for the value of a year of high school with estimates of the value of the courses taken by the typical student during the year.
