This model is employed to study the GED exam and countersignaling (signals non-monotonic in ability). A result of the model is that countersignaling is more expected to occur in jobs that require a combination of skills that differs from the combination used in the schooling process. The model also produces testable implications consistent with evidence on the GED: (i) it signals both high cognitive and low non-cognitive skills and (ii) it does not affect wages. Additionally, it suggests modifications that would make the GED a more effective signal. 2008-05-13T13:44:17Z 2008-05-13T13:44:17Z 2004-04-29 2004-04-29 info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion info:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesis GOTTLIEB, Daniel.
