| Educational Choices and Subjective Expectations of Returns - Woman and Public Policy Program | Educational Choices and Subjective Expectations of Returns: Evidence on Intra-Household Decisions and Gender Differences
The goal of this paper is to improve our understanding of educational decisions in two dimensions: First, we investigate if determinants of schooling differ between male and female youths. In particular, we are interested in the role of expectations about monetary returns to schooling, perceived risks of earnings and unemployment for different schooling scenarios and returns to schooling in the marriage market. Second, we analyze the decision making process within the household with special focus on the role of the youth. We shed light on whose expectations matter in schooling decisions, the ones of the parents or the ones of the youths, and whether this depends on the gender of the youth. To address these questions we use a data set on Mexican junior and senior high school graduates that elicits their own and their parents' beliefs about future earnings for different scenarios of highest schooling degree. In addition we construct proxies for returns in the marriage market and have information about the actual schooling choice and an extensive set of controls.

Johnson (Boston Public Schools), Stephen Raudenbush (University of Chicago), and Catherine Snow (Harvard Graduate School of Education), moderated by Nancy E. Hill (Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study and Harvard Graduate School of Education)
"Reimagining the City-University Connection," sponsored by the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, the Rappaport Institute, and the City of Boston, seeks to promote a new kind of partnership by stimulating mutually beneficial research and policy relationships involving Harvard and other universities with Boston and other cities and towns in greater Boston. Scholars and practitioners from a variety of fields and communities will explore accomplishments of—and lessons from—several notable university/city initiatives. Panels of leading academics and senior practitioners will focus on four areas: preventing and responding to violence; governance and new technologies; improving urban education; and the lessons and challenges of city-university collaborations. The symposium will create novel opportunities to strengthen existing collaborations and to begin to develop new ones—particularly those that cross academic disciplines and bureaucratic boundaries. |

| Haitian Creole in Education: Lessons from the U.S. Diaspora | Event: The Role of Haitian Creole in the School System of Post-Earthquake Haiti
Panelist: Flore Zéphir, Department of Romance Languages and Literatures, University of Missouri-Columbia Date: 3/17/2011 Abstract: What are the best methods for using Haitian Creole as the language of instruction in schools in Haiti? What are the challenges and opportunities associated with such use of Haitian Creole? This presentation focuses on the many efforts that have been undertaken by Haitian educators in the Diaspora here in the United States to educate Haitian immigrant children in their mother tongue. It focuses on the many challenges they have had to overcome with regard to the perception of Haitian Creole as a "low" language and with regard to material development. These challenges must be addressed so Haitian students can have access to a meaningful education that enables them to succeed. Our thesis is that lessons learned from the Diaspora can empower teachers in Haiti to reach and educate all their students and equip them with the skills and knowledge necessary to become productive citizens. |
