Furthermore, parents’ integration plans pushed their children from the 28th percentile to the 38th percentile of the 9th grade GPA distribution and from the 87th percentile to the 82nd percentile of the idleness (not in employment, education or training) distribution.

[...] These gaps mean that an average complier was at the 31st percentile of the distribution of degrees’ average earnings, the 26th per- centile of the GPA distribution, and the 87th percentile of the idleness distribution. [...] In comparison, the averages of never-takers correspond to the 55th percentile of the degree’s average earnings dis- tribution, 40th percentile of the GPA distribution and 77th percentile of the idleness distribution. [...] More precisely, the point estimates suggest that parents’ integration plans pushed the av- 11 erage complier to the median in the degree’s predicted earnings distribution, the 38th percentile of the 9th grade GPA distribution, and the 82nd percentile in the distribution of our idleness measure.
