Zsófia L. Bárány; Moshe Buchinsky; Pauline Corblet – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2023
It is generally agreed upon that most individuals who acquire a college degree do so in their early 20s. Despite this consensus, we show that in the US from the 1930 birth cohort onwards a large fraction -- around 20% -- of college graduates obtained their degree after age 30. We explore the implications of this phenomenon. First, we show that…
