Unobserved Heterogeneity and Risk in Wage Variance: Does Schooling Provide Earnings Insurance?

Mazza, Jacopo; van Ophem, Hans; Hartog, Joop - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2011

Access to Higher Education and Inequality: The Chinese Experiment

Wang, Xiaojun; Fleisher, Belton M.; Li, Haizheng; Li, Shi - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2007

We apply a semi-parametric latent variable model to estimate selection and sorting effects on the evolution of private returns to schooling for college graduates during China’s reform between 1988 and 2002. We find that there were substantial sorting gains under the traditional system, but...
