We estimate the impact of charter schools on early-life labor market outcomes in Texas. We find that, at the mean, charter schools have no impact on test scores and a negative impact on earnings. No Excuses charter schools increase test scores and 4-year college enrollment but have a statistically insignificant impact on earnings, although the coefficient is almost identical to what one would expect given the correlation between test scores and wages. Other types of charter schools decrease test scores, 4-year college enrollment, and earnings, and surprisingly the decrease in wages is more negative than one would anticipate.

特许学校和劳动力市场成果

我们估计了特许学校对德克萨斯州早期劳动力市场成果的影响。我们发现，平均而言，特许学校对考试成绩没有影响，对收入没有负面影响。没有任何借口特许学校可以提高考试成绩和四年制大学入学率，但对收入的影响在统计学上并不显着，尽管该系数几乎与预期的相同（考虑到考试成绩和工资之间的相关性）。其他类型的特许学校会降低考试成绩，4年制大学入学率和收入，令人惊讶的是，工资的下降比人们预期的负得多。
