Hershbein, Brad J.; Kearney, Melissa S.; Pardue, Luke W. – W. E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research, 2020
We conduct an empirical simulation exercise that gauges the plausible impact of increased rates of college attainment on a variety of measures of income inequality and economic insecurity. Using two different methodological approaches--a distributional approach and a causal parameter approach--we find that increased rates of bachelor's and…

Hershbein, Brad J.; Kearney, Melissa S.; Pardue, Luke W. – W. E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research, 2020

Conventional wisdom regards a college degree as necessary for a well-paying job and a good life. By focusing on average earnings, this conventional wisdom obscures the enormous variability in outcomes at each education level; in fact, the top half of high school graduates earn in the same range as the bottom half of college graduates. However the…
