| Abstract: | This study examines the relationship between GPA and salary level and growth using a unique data set of Bryant University graduates in different stages of their careers. This study adds to a divided literature plagued with issues of heterogeneity and omitted variable biases. Results of the empirical analysis suggest that male graduates with higher GPA at graduation have experienced higher salary level and faster salary growth, while GPA has had no significant impact on women’s salary or salary growth. |
