Abstract | "This paper examines workplace peer effects on advanced education attainment. Using administrative data from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and conditional exogeneous assignment of employees to workplace, I provide empirical evidence that coworkers' education investment behavior increases the likelihood of using Employer-Provided Educational Assistance (EPEA) benefits to start and eventually complete a graduate degree. I find a 10 percentage point (p.p.) increase in the proportion of peers using Tuition Assistance (TA) increases the probability of starting a master's degree by 4.99 p.p. Additionally, a 10 p.p. increase in the proportion of coworkers that have finished an advanced degree increases completion rates by 2.71 p.p. within eight years in the organization." The study refers to the period 2000-2020. (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku, © 2022 Elsevier).. |
