我们利用数据的未来收入的学生在高中完成期望获得和没有大学教育，连同学习成绩和大学成果的信息，研究从录取到精英公立高中在墨西哥城的系统的好处。使用数据集中分配到学校的学生和适应回归不连续设计策略，我们估计，精英学校入学增加未来的收入和回报学生期望从大学教育。收入预期的提高似乎反映了实际收入机会的改善，因为进入这一精英学校系统也提高了学习成绩和大学毕业成果。这证明了上精英学校的收入好处。
We exploit data on the future earnings students at high school completion expect to receive with and without a college education, together with information on learning achievement and college outcomes, to study the benefits from admission into a system of elite public high schools in Mexico City. Using data for the centralized allocation of students into schools and an adapted regression discontinuity design strategy, we estimate that elite school admission increases the future earnings and returns students expect from a college education. These gains in earnings expectations seem to reflect improvement in actual earnings opportunities, as admission to this elite school system also enhances learning achievement and college graduation outcomes. This provides evidence of the earnings benefits from attending elite schools.
