SUMMARY:Presenter: David Deming- The Value of Postsecondary Credentials in the Labor Market: An Experimental Study
DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Presenter:</strong> <span>David Deming</span></p><p><strong>Abstract:</strong> <span>We study employers’ perceptions of postsecondary degrees using a field experiment. We randomly assign the sector and selectivity of institution to fictitious resumes and send them to real vacancy postings on a large online job board. According to our results, a bachelor’s degree in business from a for-profit “online” institution is 22 percent less likely to receive a callback than a similar degree from a non-selective public institution. Degrees from selective public institutions are relatively more likely to receive callbacks from employers posting higher-salaried jobs, suggesting that employers value college quality and the likelihood of a successful match when contacting applicants.</span></p><p><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px; line-height: normal;"> </span></p>
