AEA Papers and Proceedings, 2023, vol. 113, 446-50

Abstract: Relying on a panel of more than 600 four-year colleges (including 49 historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs)), we show that HBCUs as a group outperform other major classes of institutions (for example, flagship state universities) in generating upward economic mobility for their graduates.
