No. of bitstreams: 1 PriscillaBacalhau_Thesis.pdf: 2860519 bytes, checksum: e1380a290aef63cb810e6662593d647f (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-05-25 / Attaining tertiary education has noteworthy implications for both individuals and society. This thesis is composed of three essays related to Economics of Education. The first chapter investigates whether the informational barriers prevent young students from completing high school and starting higher education, by performing an evaluation of a corporate volunteer program that aims to inform students about the benefits of finishing this level of education. The second chapter estimates the returns to college quality and to individual abilities on early career outcomes in Brazil. A new measure of the signal for college quality is proposed for these estimates. The third and last chapter performs a cost-effectiveness analysis of the public provision of higher education compared to private provision in Brazil. / Completar um curso de ensino superior tem implicações notáveis para os indivíduos e para a sociedade. Esta tese é composta por três ensaios relacionados à Economia da Educação. O primeiro capítulo investiga se as barreiras informacionais impedem que os jovens concluam o ensino médio e iniciem o ensino superior, realizando uma avaliação de um programa de voluntariado corporativo que visa informar os jovens sobre os benefícios de terminar esse nível de ensino. O segundo capítulo estima o retorno à qualidade da faculdade e às habilidades individuais nos resultados iniciais de carreira no Brasil. Uma nova medida do sinal de qualidade do ensino superior é proposta para essas estimativas. O terceiro e último capítulo realiza uma análise de custo-efetividade da provisão pública de ensino superior comparada à provisão privada no Brasil.
