Probability of admission to government secondary school rises sharply at a score close to the national mean on a standardized 8th grade examination, permitting me to estimate causal effects of schooling in a regression discontinuity framework. I combine administrative test score data with a survey of young adults to estimate these impacts. My results show that secondary schooling increases human capital. For men, I find a drop in low-skill self-employment; for women, I find a reduction in teen pregnancy.}, issn = {0022-166X}, URL = {https://jhr.uwpress.org/content/early/2016/12/12/jhr.53.1.0915-7407R}, eprint = {https://jhr.uwpress.org/content/early/2016/12/12/jhr.53.1.0915-7407R.full.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Human Resources} }
