Students generally have overly optimistic expectations about the returns to educational investment and the effects of unmet expectations on graduates’ political behavior have been overlooked. I study this phenomenon in Chile with observational and experimental methods, using unique panel survey data collected from new graduates covering 72% of higher education enrollment. The survey tracks students before and after they enter the labor market and includes an experiment that induces variation in their expectations. The panel data reveals that 65% of students have unmet expectations, and both methods indicate that this induces a shift toward pro-government/pro-equality ideology. Overall, this study shows that the gap between aspirations and reality upon graduation can be an important driver of political attitudes.ChileThis dataset underwent an independent verification process that replicated the tables and figures in the primary article.
