| Abstract | We find statistically significant relationships between changes in wages by occupation and subsequent changes in college majors completed in associated fields. College majors (defined at a detailed level) are most strongly related to wages observed three years earlier, when students were college freshmen. The responses to wages vary depending on the extent to which there is a strong mapping of majors into particular occupations. We also find that women and black students are less likely to respond to wage changes. These findings have implications for policy interventions designed to align students' major choices with labor market demand. (As Provided). |
