q2 · i? · associational · r?
From the same CPS-based observational analysis using statewide unemployment variation, the author reports that "changes in the unemployment rate have non-linear impacts on female enrollment." No effect size or functional form is printed on the page.
"I show that changes in the unemployment rate have non-linear impacts on female enrollment and that poor labor market conditions lead to a substitution from full-time enrollment to part-time enrollment for both genders."
