Abstract

We aimed to evaluate the impact of governmental financial aid in vocational and college enrollment, solving the endogenous process in the application to benefits. Using a two-step instrumental varia- bles procedure, we found that college financial aid increases college enrollment by 30%. Being se- lected to college financial aid reduces the probability of vocational enrollment, although only voca- tional financial aid does increases this probability, which may be understood as a substitution effect.
