Since data show that students with disabilities graduate from college at the same rate as their nondisabled peers, it is time to examine employment of recent graduates. Here we report on a trend toward higher levels of employment for college graduates who were integrated into "regular" educational settings since the 1990s. To illustrate this phenomenon, we summarize our findings of a study on g...

This paper examines the impact of entry costs on the likelihood that recent college graduates become public school teachers. I combine Barron’s ratings of college selectivity, data on the types of teacher certification programs offered by colleges, and NELS data that tracks members of the high school class of 1988 into college and into the workforce. Restricting the sample to individuals who we...

Despite the voluminous literature on the potentials of single-sex schools, there is no consensus on the effects of single-sex schools because of student selection of school types. We exploit a unique feature of schooling in Seoul-the random assignment of students into single-sex versus coeducational high schools-to assess causal effects of single-sex schools on college entrance exam scores and ...
