Future reports by CFRP will build on these findings with the use of multivariate analyses and additional
survey waves in an effort to tease out relative effect sizes and causality in the data.
These are the same weights used in the Department of Education's own «First Look» report that comparesoutcomes across the two
survey waves (Woo et al., 2017).
I restrict my extract of the NLSY data to respondents who had at least a bachelor's degree in 1988 (when they were 25 - 31 years of age) and responded to
all survey waves (throughout the analysis I apply the appropriate panel weights for this subgroup of initial respondents).
Number of books in the home represents an average measure across
all survey waves.
