Abstract
The hypothesis tested in my paper is that the use of ChatGPT diminishes the value of a college degree. I test this hypothesis theoretically using the investment in human capital model, Signaling Theory, and education production functions. I also test this hypothesis by running a multinomial logit regression model that includes my main dependent variable, the value of a college degree, and my main independent variable, ChatGPT. I found that students who use ChatGPT will be more likely to say that ChatGPT enhances the value of a college degree while those students who do not use ChatGPT are more likely to say that using it diminishes the value of a college degree.
