We address the impact of education upon wage inequality by drawing on evidence from fifteen European countries, during … regressions of Mincer equations and analysing the differences in returns to education across the wage distribution and across time …. Four different patterns emerge: 1) a positive and increasing contribution of education upon within-levels wage inequality …
