Show Me the Money! The Value of College Graduate Attributes as Expressed by Employers and Perceived by Students
通过雇主对虚构求职者的选择，估算他们愿为某些毕业生属性支付的额外薪资，并与学生感知的薪资增长对比，以识别学生对属性货币回报的误解。
Employers of agricultural undergraduates are presented with hypothetical job candidates with different attributes and salaries, and are asked which candidate, if any, they would hire. The employer choices are then used to estimate the additional salary they will pay for undergraduates with certain attributes. Students are administered similar surveys where they indicate which hypothetical candidate they think will be hired, which can be used to estimate students' perceived salary increase associated with each attribute. Employers' stated values are then compared to students' perceived values to identify any misperceptions regarding the monetary return of select attributes.
