Do Pimples Pay? Acne, Human Capital, and the Labor Market
利用美国青少年健康纵向调查数据，发现中学时期长青春痘与高中GPA、大学学位完成率正相关，且与女性个人劳动收入提高有关。
We use data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health to investigate the association between having acne in middle to high school and subsequent educational and labor market outcomes. We find that having acne is strongly positively associated with overall grade point average in high school, grades in high school English, history, math, and science, and the completion of a college degree. We also find evidence that acne is associated with higher personal labor market earnings for women. We further explore a possible channel through which acne may affect education and earnings.
