Estimating Student Capital of Community College Student Populations

Creator:

Quarles, Christopher L.

Description:

Student capital is the set of skills, traits, and resources that an individual can draw upon to be successful in school. With dropout rates around 50%, community college students often don't have enough student capital to achieve their goals. The R code in this dataset estimates the average student capital of a group of community college students using data on their total credits and academic outcomes. It also contains R code to create figures, as found in the paper "The Shape of Educational Inequality" by Quarles, Budak & Resnick.
