Aggregate Unemployment Decreases Individual Returns to Education

Ammermüller, Andreas; Kuckulenz, Anja; Zwick, Thomas - 2006

On the basis of a theoretical model, we argue that higher aggregate unemployment affects individual returns to education. We therefore include aggregate unemployment and an interaction term between unemployment and the individual education level in a standard Mincer equation. Our results show...

Cohort effects and the returns to education in West Germany

Boockmann, Bernhard; Steiner, Viktor - 2000

Using a Mincer-type wage function, we estimate cohort effects in the returns to education for West German workers born between 1925 and 1974. The main problem to be tackled in the specification is to separately identify cohort, experience, and possibly also age effects in the returns. For women,...

Lauer, Charlotte - 2000

This paper analyses the determinants of participation in higher education in West Germany.

Family and gender still matter: the heterogeneity of returns to education in Germany

Schnabel, Reinhold; Schnabel, Isabel - 2002

Using information on family background, we estimate returns to education, allowing for the heterogeneity of returns. In order to control for the unobserved heterogeneity shared by family members, we construct a siblings sample and employ family fixed-effects and family correlated random-effects...

Returns to Education and Individual Heterogeneity

Pohlmeier, Winfried; Pfeiffer, Friedhelm; Maier, Michael - 2004

In this paper, human capital investments are evaluated by assuming heterogeneous returns to education. We use the potential outcome approach to measure the causal effect of human capital investments on earnings as a continuous treatment effect. Empirical evidence is based on a sample of West...

Education, Gender and Earnings in France and Germany: Level and Dispersion Effects

Lauer, Charlotte - 2004

This paper analyses the relationship between education, gender and earnings in France and Germany. The model chosen here enables to estimate the impact of education not only on the expected earnings level but also on their dispersion, taking gender-specific sample selectivity into account. The...

Heterogeneous Returns to Training: An Analysis with German Data Using Local Instrumental Variables

Kuckulenz, Anja; Maier, Michael - 2006

Empirical work on the wage impact of training has noted that unobserved heterogeneity of training participants should play a role. The expected return to training, which partly depends on unobservable characteristics, is likely to be a crucial criterion in the decision to take part in training...

Continuing Vocational Training in Germany: A Comparative Study Using 3 German Data Set

Kuckulenz, Anja - 2006

Empirical work on continuing training in Germany provides surprisingly divergent evidence on the incidence of training. This makes comparison of econometric analyses of the impact of training on labour market outcomes di?cult. Three large German data sets are used here to bring to light the data...
