Stability and change in the academic qualifications of recent men and women college entrants
Policy makers, commentators, and some scholars have become increasingly concerned that men are falling further behind women in college attendance rates. There has been concern about which men and women, in terms of academic qualifications, attend colleges in the U.S. —particularly elite colleges that are associated with the greatest economic and social returns. MPC member Tom VanHeuvelen and co-author Natasha Quadlin set out to examine these questions in this era of heightened competitiveness using data from the Education Longitudinal Study of 2002 and the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009.
