ndltd-NEU--neu-rx918697d2021-05-28T05:22:26ZThree essays on labor economicsThe first chapter, "Vocational Education and its Effects on Earnings," uses the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth - 1997 to estimate the impact of high school vocational education for individuals who do not enroll in college. Using an instrumental variables methodology to account for selection, the presence of vocational curriculum at a public high school is used as an instrument for vocational credits earned by individuals. The results show that each additional vocational course increases an individual's earnings by five percent, but the returns are mostly benefitting white males.http://hdl.handle.net/2047/D20199703
