Main

The self-evaluation of the opportunity structure relates to the individual assessment of the opportunity structure in the job-market. In line with some psychological approaches, Sauermann and Roach (2012)[1] link the self-evaluation of the chances obtaining a preferred job (i.e. research in academia) to the change in preferences: students realized over time that they are not competitive for scarce academic jobs and thus ceased to want them.
