DYNAMIC CHOICE ANALYSIS OF SCHOOLING BEHAVIOR

本项目将从高等教育的角度分析学校教育行为的动态 从入学到大学毕业。 目标是提高 我们对职业生涯中以下关键步骤的理解 形成：1）高中生对大学的选择 预备课程和其他学习课程; 2）高中生的 完成学业和辍学之间的选择; 3）高中 毕业生的选择之间的入学和不入学的大学; 4） 大学生对学习领域的选择; 5）大学生的 在完成大学学业和辍学之间做出选择 计划中的研究将把相当大的注意力集中在这一过程上， 学生对学校教育回报的期望。 一 最近开发的，易于处理的方法来分析动态选择 在不确定的情况下，将有助于工作。 实证调查 将利用三个小组调查的数据：国家纵向调查 1972年高中班的研究，高中及以后 国家青年纵向研究。

This project will analyze the dynamics of schooling behavior from high school entry through college completion. The objective is to enhance our understanding of the following key steps in the process of career formation: 1) the high school student's choice between college preparatory and other programs of study; 2) the high school student's choice between completing school and dropping out; 3) the high school graduate's choice between enrolling and not enrolling in college; 4) the college student's choice of a field of study; 5) the college student's choice between completing college and dropping out. The planned research will focus considerable attention on the process by which students form expectations of the returns to schooling. A recently developed, tractable approach to the analysis of dynamic choice under uncertainty will facilitate the work. The empirical investigation will exploit data from three panel surveys: the National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972, the High School and Beyond Study, and the National Longitudinal Study of Youth.
