چکیده انگلیسی
This paper uses compulsory schooling laws to evaluate high school dropout decisions. The main empirical result is that lifetime wealth increases by about 15% with an extra year of compulsory schooling. Students compelled to stay in school are also less likely to report being in poor health, unemployed, and unhappy. The main conclusion is that high school aversion alone is unlikely to explain why dropouts forgo substantial gains to lifetime wealth. The results are more consistent with the possibility that adolescents ignore or heavily discount future consequences when deciding to drop out of school. If teenagers are myopic, making school compulsory or offering incentives to stay in school may help improve lifetime outcomes.
