dc.description.abstractWe assess students' ability to forecast future earnings by using data on expected wages self-reported by college students with different graduation horizons. We find a significant gender gap, by which wage expectations are systematically lower for women than for men. However, women do not fully account for the gender gap in their future earnings. We also find that student performance, degree type, and graduation horizon play a relevant role in wage forecasts. In any case, students' expectations do not conform market wages but become more realistic as they approach graduation. We are in debt with Juanjo Dolado and Ricardo Mora for valuable comments.
