The Evidence on Credit Constraints in Post‐Secondary Schooling
Open accessAbstract
This paper examines the family incomecollege enrollment relationship and the evidence oncredit constraints in post-secondary schooling. We distinguish short-run liquidity constraintsfrom the long-term factors that promote cognitive and noncognitive ability. Long-run factorscrystallized in ability are the major determinants of the family incomeschooling relationship,although there is some evidence that up to 8% of the U.S. population is credit constrained ina short-run sense. Evidence that IV estimates of the returns to schooling exceed OLSestimates is sometimes claimed to support the existence of substantial credit constraints.This argument is critically examined.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
