Estimating the Returns to Education: Models, Methods and Results
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reviews appropriate non-experimental methods and microeconometric models for recovering the returns to education using individual data. Three estimators are considered: matching methods, instrumental variable methods and control function methods. The properties of these methods are investigated for models with multiple treatments and heterogeneous returns. Data from the British 1958 NCDS birth cohort is used to estimate returns to schooling and to illustrate the sensitivity of different estimators to model specification and data availability.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the returns to scale of the Tehran Stock Exchange based on new models in data envelopment analysis. Using this assessment, it is possible to judge the application of contradictory or expansion policies in stock companies. To this end, there is a need for models in the data envelopment analysis that can assess the left and right returns to scales of the d...
متن کاملEstimating Returns to Scale in the Presence of Undesirable Factors in Data Envelopment Analysis
This research identifies returns to scale (RTS) of efficient decision making units (DMUs) with desirable (good) and undesirable (bad) inputs and outputs by presenting a new DEA (data envelopment analysis) approach. In this study, we first introduce a new input-output oriented model to determine efficient DMUs in the presence of undesirable factors and then, returns to scale of these DMUs are es...
