Un Articolo dell’Atlantic sintetizza i risultati di uno studio condotto da 5 economisti sulla capacità delle università americane di migliorare il reddito degli ex studenti rispetto alle condizioni familiari di partenza.

This study doesn’t just challenge one big myth about American universities and poor students. It combats several popular myths among both liberals and conservatives. Let’s go through three.

Myth #1: America’s most prestigious universities are great engines of upward mobility.

Myth #2: Low-income students, who are more likely to be minorities, can’t succeed at selective colleges.

Myth #3: Selective schools are admitting more low-income students.
