Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:	Using survey based data on actual and parental education this work project explores intra- and intergenerational effects of job information centers on the individual secondary and tertiary educational outcome. The treatment effect is estimated in a difference-in-difference setup exploiting exogenous variation over time and across districts of openings of job information centers. I find significant effects of both intra-intergenerational quality on tertiary and secondary education. the results suggest that providing job-related information through public establishments such as job information centers can be a powerful tool of public policy.
