Description
The High School and Beyond Surveys (HS&B) administered by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics are the primary source of data for the analysis. In 1980, information on the demographic and economic characteristics and the schooling experiences and expectations of a cohort of high school sophomores was collected. Follow-up surveys were conducted in 1982, 1984, 1986, and 1992. Postsecondary transcript information was matched to the survey respondents and provides an additional source of information regarding students' educational experiences. A restricted-use version of the data is used for this analysis as it provides individual-level data that the public-use data do not. While the HS&B sophomore database contains 14,825 students, only 5,359 are used in the analysis. Respondents who were not sampled or chose not to participate in all of the first three surveys are dropped, leaving 12,423 respondents. An additional 7,064 respondents are dropped because they are missing information on at least one key variable. In order to investigate the representativeness of this reduced sample, the means of the demographic variables that can be measured for all students in the database are compared for the full sample and the analysis sample. Appendix table A3 shows that the analysis sample includes fewer males, minorities, and urban residents than does the full HS&B sample. The analysis sample also includes a higher percentage of residents from the Mid-Atlantic, East North Central, and West North Central regions than does the full sample. These differences suggest caution in generalizing the empirical results.
