dc.description.abstract
Students’ choices in education can only be based on expected outcomes. Econometric models
that infer expectations based on ex post outcomes impose a rational structure of expectations
on school performance and post-graduation earnings. Direct surveys suggest much
ignorance and fuzziness. We use survey data on expectations in four universities in three
countries and check for relations of expected probability to graduate and of expected
earnings with personal abilities and attitudes. We find that most of the difference in
expectations among individuals is just noise.
Keywords:
Student expectations; earnings; earnings dispersion; risk attitudes.
