Replication data for: The Effect of Veterans Benefits on Education and Earnings

Listed in Harvard Dataverse

Veterans benefits that subsidize education and training constitute the largest federal program for student aid.

Description

Using data from the 1987 Survey of Veterans, the author presents estimates of the effect of veterans benefits on schooling completed since entering the military and on subsequent earnings. Veterans benefits are estimated to increase schooling by roughly 1.4 years, which implies annual earnings approximately 6% higher than would have been expected in the absence of the benefits.

This premium appears to accrue primarily to the 77% of benefit users who attended college or graduate school.
