作者利用佛罗里达州公立学校学生人口普查的面板数据，研究了学生在高中各科目的课程学习与其十年级考试成绩、高中毕业、进入高等教育机构以及高等教育表现之间的关联。作者在学生组中使用倾向分数匹配（基于八年级考试成绩、其他学生特征和学校效果），根据学生在其他科目的课程构成进行匹配，以估计参加各种科目的严格课程的学生的结果差异。作者发现，那些参加严格课程的人的结果存在显着差异，而这些估计的影响对于弱势青少年和就读弱势学校的学生来说往往更大。
Using panel data from a census of public school students in the state of Florida, the authors examine the associations between students’ high school course-taking in various subjects and their 10th-grade test scores, high school graduation, entry into postsecondary institutions, and postsecondary performance. The authors use propensity score matching (based on 8th-grade test scores, other student characteristics, and school effects) within groups of students matched on the composition of the students’ course-taking in other subjects to estimate the differences in outcomes for students who take rigorous courses in a variety of subjects. The authors find substantial significant differences in outcomes for those who take rigorous courses, and these estimated effects are often larger for disadvantaged youth and students attending disadvantaged schools.
