Does education reduce wage inequality? : quantile regressions evidence from fifteen European countries
Pereira, Pedro Telhado; Martins, Pedro S. - 2000
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 …

We estimate a structural dynamic programming model of schooling decisions and obtain individual specific estimates of the local (and average) returns to schooling as well as the returns to experience. Homogeneity of the returns to human capital is strongly rejected in favor of a discrete...
