Note(s):
Only students who wanted a job requiring a university degree at age 15 and 17 are
included in the sample. This includes 3,348 (3,298) youth in the
models without (with) the certainty of working in intended career. The model
is estimated by ordinary least squares and includes the covariates listed
in Table 2, as well as school fixed effects.
Note that school marks at ages 15 and 17 are interacted,
as are certainty of working in intended career at ages 15 and 17.
