38/38 checkable references clean · checked 2026-08-29

Every reference with a DOI in the deposited reference list resolved to a known work in Crossref or DataCite at the dated check, and none carried a retraction, withdrawal, or removal notice.

26 without a DOI — not checked. A reference deposited without a DOI is never matched by title or guessed at; it stays outside the checked set, and this line discloses that.

The 26 references without a DOI — listed, not checked
no DOI — not checkedIt is important to note that there is not a single data source that contains information on family contribution, ability, credit type, educational attainment, borrowing and default behavior. Therefore, we use four data sets: Beginning Postsecondary Student Longitudinal Survey (BPS 04/09), National Education Longitudinal Study (NELS:1988), Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF) and FRBNY Consumer Credit Panel (Equifax). Specifically, the Equifax dataset contains detailed credit-related information (e.g., repayment and various measures of delinquencies), but does not provide demographic characteristics (with the exception of age). Most notably, it lacks any information about income or educational attainment/enrollment. Contrast this with data from the U.S. Department of Education (namely, the BPS and NELS), which provide detailed information about enrollment, educational attainment, sources of financing, and demographic characteristics. U.S. Department of Education data also contain some information about default behavior, but does not provide any information on credit type. The Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF), on the other hand, provides self-reported information about credit type

no DOI — not checkedBPS cohorts include beginners in post-secondary schools who are surveyed at three points in time: in their first year in the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS), and then three and six years after first starting their post-secondary education in follow-up surveys. BPS collects data on a variety of topics, including student demographics, school experiences, persistence, borrowing/repayment of student loans, and degree attainment six years after enrollment. Our sample consists of students aged 20-30 who enroll in a four-year college following high school graduation. For demographic characteristics
