在这篇文章中，我们采用分位数回归调查的演变教育工资溢价（EWP）在意大利从1993年至2004年。使用家庭收入和财富调查（SHIW，意大利银行）和不同的教育程度分类，我们表明，在私营部门，EWP随着时间的推移，一般下降，考虑到连续和分类规格的教育，在所有分位数的工资分布。在公共部门观察到不同的模式，在公共部门，经济增长率基本上保持稳定。为了解决样本选择问题，还采用了一些稳健性检查和各种计量经济学规格。我们的研究结果提供了额外的证据支持这一论点，即不平等和EWP的增长模式，以及有关技能偏向变化的相关解释，在欧洲大陆比在盎格鲁-撒克逊国家要少得多。
In this article we apply quantile regressions to investigate the evolution of Educational Wage Premia (EWP) in Italy from 1993 to 2004. Using the Survey of the Household Income and Wealth (SHIW, Bank of Italy) and different classifications for educational attainments, we show that, in the private sector, EWP have generally decreased over time, considering both continuous and categorical specifications for education, at all quantiles of the wage distribution. Different patterns are observed in the public sector, where EWP remain basically stable over time. A number of robustness checks and various econometric specifications are also applied in order to address sample selection issues. Our findings provide additional evidence in favour of the thesis that the increasing patterns in inequality and EWP, and the related interpretations concerning skill-biased changes, are much less pronounced in continental Europe than in Anglo-Saxon countries.
