q1 · i? · causal · r?
The brief's own framing sentence, hedged with "may also boost students' long-run earnings"; it presents the combined attainment-and-earnings picture as a suggestion from the new analysis rather than a tested headline statistic.
"suggesting that charter high schools are not only increasing postsecondary educational attainment but may also boost students' long-run earnings"
