영문 초록

This paper draws on the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 to identify a common reason for the shortage of qualified math and science teachers and the feminization of teaching. Controlling for self-selection by a propensity score matching estimator and the Heckit, this paper presents a plausible common reason: a higher rate of returns to math skills in non-teaching than in teaching. When the different rates in the two sectors are combined with the fact that men have generally higher math skills than women, the two concerns take place. That is, men leave teaching along with high math skills.
