Project Description

Summary:  View help for Summary We study the causal effect of the net price of college on student debt, schooling investment, and parental transfers by exploiting a natural experiment. A large public U.S. university introduced a program to match Pell grants in AY 2019-20. We use a difference-in-difference approach to measure the impact of this policy on the variables of interest and interpret our findings using a simple structural model of human capital investment under credit constraints.
