요약This dissertation contains three empirical papers that quantify how institutional status hierarchies in postgraduate education relate to professionals' employment and earnings outcomes.Chapter 1 examines the effects of postgraduate educational program status hierarchies on earnings among recipients of postgraduate professional degrees in medicine, law, and business. With co-author Madeline Brighouse Glueck, I examine data from two panels of the Baccalaureate & Beyond National Longitudinal Survey, tracking individuals who graduated college in 1993 and 2008 ten years following college completion. We use matching and regression methods to derive causal estimates of the effect on earnings of attending ranked versus un-ranked institutions in law, medicine, and Master of Business Administration programs. We find substantial effects only in the most recent cohorts of law and MBA graduates. Incorporating an analysis of the historical development of postgraduate professional education, we argue that the effects of status hierarchies are largely dependent on professional fields and organizations.Chapter 2 takes a closer look at effects of the educational status hierarchy on earnings among lawyers, using a larger dataset from the American Bar Foundation's After the JD National Survey. Using matching and regression methods, I estimate earnings effects of attending higher versus lower-ranked law schools across eight status tiers and three career stages spanning the entry level to mid-career. I find that effects of attending the most elite law schools relative to other highly ranked law schools are small and statistically insignificant. There are substantial early-career earnings returns to attending any top school, and this effect diminishes in the first six years of lawyers' careers before expanding twelve years after bar entry. These findings call for further research on how postgraduate professional education shapes access to earnings opportunities long after school completion.Chapter 3 presents a descriptive analysis of the educational backgrounds of elite corporate lawyers. Novel web-scraped data on the universe of lawyers at top corporate law firms yields evidence that degrees from elite schools are not necessary preconditions for employment in elite firms. While graduates of elite higher education institutions are overrepresented in elite firms, the observed data suggest that many high-earning, high-status professionals rose from relatively obscure educational backgrounds, contrary to assertions in recent qualitative literature on elites. These findings suggest a need for further study on pathways into the power elite.Together, the three papers use quantitative methods to challenge and advance theory on the role of higher education institutions in the formation of America's elite.

■520    ▼aThis  dissertation  contains  three  empirical  papers  that  quantify  how  institutional  status  hierarchies  in  postgraduate  education  relate  to  professionals'  employment  and  earnings  outcomes.Chapter  1  examines  the  effects  of  postgraduate  educational  program  status  hierarchies  on  earnings  among  recipients  of  postgraduate  professional  degrees  in  medicine,  law,  and  business.  With  co-author  Madeline  Brighouse  Glueck,  I  examine  data  from  two  panels  of  the  Baccalaureate  &  Beyond  National  Longitudinal  Survey,  tracking  individuals  who  graduated  college  in  1993  and  2008  ten  years  following  college  completion.  We  use  matching  and  regression  methods  to  derive  causal  estimates  of  the  effect  on  earnings  of  attending  ranked  versus  un-ranked  institutions  in  law,  medicine,  and  Master  of  Business  Administration  programs.  We  find  substantial  effects  only  in  the  most  recent  cohorts  of  law  and  MBA  graduates.  Incorporating  an  analysis  of  the  historical  development  of  postgraduate  professional  education,  we  argue  that  the  effects  of  status  hierarchies  are  largely  dependent  on  professional  fields  and  organizations.Chapter  2  takes  a  closer  look  at  effects  of  the  educational  status  hierarchy  on  earnings  among  lawyers,  using  a  larger  dataset  from  the  American  Bar  Foundation's  After  the  JD  National  Survey.  Using  matching  and  regression  methods,  I  estimate  earnings  effects  of  attending  higher  versus  lower-ranked  law  schools  across  eight  status  tiers  and  three  career  stages  spanning  the  entry  level  to  mid-career.  I  find  that  effects  of  attending  the  most  elite  law  schools  relative  to  other  highly  ranked  law  schools  are  small  and  statistically  insignificant.  There  are  substantial  early-career  earnings  returns  to  attending  any  top  school,  and  this  effect  diminishes  in  the  first  six  years  of  lawyers'  careers  before  expanding  twelve  years  after  bar  entry.  These  findings  call  for  further  research  on  how  postgraduate  professional  education  shapes  access  to  earnings  opportunities  long  after  school  completion.Chapter  3  presents  a  descriptive  analysis  of  the  educational  backgrounds  of  elite  corporate  lawyers.  Novel  web-scraped  data  on  the  universe  of  lawyers  at  top  corporate  law  firms  yields  evidence  that  degrees  from  elite  schools  are  not  necessary  preconditions  for  employment  in  elite  firms.  While  graduates  of  elite  higher  education  institutions  are  overrepresented  in  elite  firms,  the  observed  data  suggest  that  many  high-earning,  high-status  professionals  rose  from  relatively  obscure  educational  backgrounds,  contrary  to  assertions  in  recent  qualitative  literature  on  elites.  These  findings  suggest  a  need  for  further  study  on  pathways  into  the  power  elite.Together,  the  three  papers  use  quantitative  methods  to  challenge  and  advance  theory  on  the  role  of  higher  education  institutions  in  the  formation  of  America's  elite.
