Cover of Liang Zhang: Does Quality Pay? (ePUB)

Previous research has generally shown a very small although statistically significant economic benefit from attending high-quality colleges. This small effect was at odds with what students’ college choice and various social theories would seem to suggest. This study sought to reconcile the empirical evidence and theories. The effort was in two directions.

A new perspective regarding the social role of college quality was offered in conclusion.
