Finding 2: For vocational high schools (VHS), in contrast, we find robust evidence for positive attainment effects not only in cross-sectional and TWFE panel regressions, but also in an event-study design that exploits the quasi-random timing of new school openings. [10/n]

CS cover the entire secondary phase, i.e. both lower-sec (5–10) and upper-sec grades (11–13), and are open to all students after primary school. VHS cover only upper-sec grades and thus merely offer an upgrading option after completing the non-academic track. [6/n]
