Title: The Heterogeneous Effects of Schoolmates Characteristics on Long-term Labor Market Outcomes. Evidence from Denmark (co-authored by M. Bertoni and L. Cappellari)

Abstract: “Using Danish register data, we investigate whether the effects of schoolmates’ average parental education on educational achievement, short- and long-run labor market outcomes vary with own parental education. Our research design is based on comparisons of siblings attending the same school in different cohorts.  We find that the benefits from exposure to “privileged” peers accrue mainly to “disadvantaged” students, and fade away with time.  We discuss implications for school admission policies.”
