Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
We study employers' perceptions of the value of postsecondary
degrees using a field experiment. We randomly assign the sector
and selectivity of institutions to fictitious resumes and apply to real
vacancy postings for business and health jobs on a large online job
board. We find that a business bachelor's degree from a for-profit
online institution is 22 percent less likely to receive a callback than
one from a nonselective public institution. In applications to health
jobs, we find that for-profit credentials receive fewer callbacks unless
the job requires an external quality indicator such as an occupational
license. (JEL I23, I26, J24, J44, J63, M51)
