The effect of attending stand-alone technical high schools

A new research paper examines the effect of attending stand-alone technical high schools on student short- and longterm

outcomes. Male students are 10 percentage points more likely to graduate from high school. Male students have 32% higher quarterly earnings. Earnings effects may in part reflect general skills: male students have higher attendance rates and testscores, and industry fixed effects explain less than 1/3rd of earnings gains. 

There is little evidence that attending a technical high school affects the outcomes of female students.
