本文考察了剩余教育对个人生产率和收入的影响。它提出了一种模式,将工人的教育分为两个部分:工作所需的教育,因此在工作中得到充分利用,以及超过所需数量的教育,因此在工作中可能未得到充分利用。该模型用1969年、1973年和1977年工作生活质量调查的数据进行了检验(Quinn和斯泰内斯,1979)。每个职业所需的学校教育是根据在职人员和《职业名称词典》的估计数得出的。结果表明,过剩或未充分利用的教育的回报率低于所需的教育,实际回报取决于工作类型。
This article examines the impact of surplus schooling on individual productivity and earnings. It proposes a model that divides workers' education into two components: education that is required and thus fully utilized in the job, and education that exceeds the amount required and thus may be underutilized in the job. The model is tested with data from the 1969, 1973, and 1977 Quality of Working Life Surveys (Quinn and Staines 1979). Required schooling for each occupation is derived from estimates by job incumbents and by the Dictionary of Occupational Titles. The results show that surplus or underutilized education is rewarded at a lower rate than required education, with the actual return dependent on the type of job.
