在本文中，我们使用劳动力调查的数据估计了英国第一学位，硕士学位和博士学位的回报率。我们估计回报，以广泛的学科群体和更狭义的学科，区分回报的性别和控制的学生质量的变化跨学科。研究结果显示，特定学位课程和性别的回报存在相当大的异质性，这对向学生收取教育费用具有重要的政策影响。
In this paper, we estimate the rate of return to first degrees, Masters degrees and PhDs in Britain using data from the Labour Force Survey. We estimate returns to broad subject groups and more narrowly defined disciplines, distinguishing returns by gender and controlling for variations in student quality across disciplines. The results reveal considerable heterogeneity in returns to particular degree programmes and by gender, which have important policy implications for charging students for the costs of their education.
