The evolution of returns to education in Spain 1980-1991
1998
STT Working Paper, n°01-99 (Université d'Orléans), janvier 1999; Based on data from the 1980 and 1990 Household Surveys, we analyze educational expansion in Spain and estimate earnings equations for male family heads ; then rates of return to education in both years are compared. Furthermore we decompose the over-all average earnings differential over time to verify to what extent the magnitude of changes is due to variations in the characteristics of the working population during the 1980-1991 period, and how much of that differential is explained by differences in the pay structure.

Certainly, the lack of grants system in Brazil is linked to the significant amount of available time spent on salaried work but it wou…
Youth Transition from School to Work in Spain
2001
Using a data set drawn from the Encuesta Socio-Demográfica conducted by the Instituto Nacional de Estadística in 1991, we analyze the labor market entrance of Spanish school leavers and the match between education and work at the early stages of working life. The empirical evidence shows that human capital exerts a strong influence on the duration of unemployment. With regard to the job match between education and work we find that young workers are more likely to be underutilized compared to their adult co-workers. Regression results indicate that people with higher education have, all else being equal, a lower probability of being overeducated and a shorter lenght of unemployment. They al…
