Assortativity matters if SES and college quality are complementary educational inputs. I develop an econometric framework that provides tests for the existence and sign of this complementarity. I implement these tests by exploiting a 2000 reform of the national college\u00a0admission exam in Colombia, which caused a market-wide reduction in assortative matching in some regions of the country. I find that the reform lowered average graduation rates and\u00a0post-college earnings in affected regions, consistent with a positive complementarity between SES and college quality. I also find evidence of mismatch: part of these negative effects\u00a0came from the low SES students who were shifted into higher quality colleges. However, both the market-wide and mismatch effects die out several cohorts after the exam reform, which\u00a0suggests that complementarity may evolve with large-scale changes in assortativity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Paper Link:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.columbia.edu\/~eer2131\/papers\/riehl_jmp.pdf\">http:\/\/www.columbia.edu\/~eer2131\/papers\/riehl_jmp.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<h5>\u5bfe\u3000\u8c61 \/ Prospected Audience<\/h5>\n<p>Faculty and staff members of a university, grad students, the general publics<\/p>\n<h5>\u4e3b\u3000\u50ac \/ Organizer<\/h5>\n<p>Waseda Institute for Advanced Study,Waseda University<\/p>\n<h5>\u7533\u8fbc\u307f \/ Registration<\/h5>\n<p>No pre-registration is required.
