THE EFFECTS OF HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC PARTICIPATION ON EDUCATION AND LABOR MARKET OUTCOMES

摘要

We introduce a simple allocation-of-time model to explain the high school athletic participation choice and the implications of this choice for educational and labor market outcomes. Four different factors that could explain athletic participation are identified in the context of this model. A variety of tests of the model are provided using two data set: the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and the National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972.
