Departamento de Economía; Argentina. Fil: Ruzzier, Christian. Universidad de San Andrés. Departamento de Economía; Argentina. We propose a complementary explanation for the evolution of the college gender gap that emphasizes the raising opportunity cost of pursuing a college degree for men, due to the increase in the rewards to becoming a superstar in men-dominated occupations, like professional sports. We support our expla- nation with causal evidence from a natural experiment in European soccer markets that provides exogenous variation in male earnings in a superstar path. Consistent with our story, we nd a signi cant positive e ect of an increase in male superstar earnings on the ratio of female to male tertiary enrollment in college education. 2017-02-07T18:26:22Z 2017-02-07T18:26:22Z 2015-03 Documento de Trabajo info:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaper info:ar-repo/semantics/documento de trabajo info:eu-repo/semantics/draft http://hdl.handle.net/10908/11957 http://hdl.handle.net/10908/11957 eng Documento de trabajo (Universidad de San Andrés.
