A disaggregate analysis of private returns to education in Italy

Beschreibung

"The aim of this paper is to provide some further elements of analysis concerning the returns to education in Italy in a comparative perspective. The three key contributions of the analysis are: estimation of the Mincerian coefficients of the wage equations for men and women for Italy and, separately, for three macroareas (North, Center and South) and for each Region; computation of the rates of return by gender with the same geographical disaggregation; some exercises to evaluate the impact of some public policies on the level of the rates of return. The main motivations for a disaggregate analysis are the significant differences in the levels of schooling attainments across geographical areas of Italy and across genders."
