Further Evidence on Returns to Schooling by Establishment Size
复制了Stolzenberg(1978)关于企业规模越大、教育对收入影响越大的研究,使用1979年当前人口调查数据,发现结果不支持这一结论,甚至可能相反,并探讨了差异来源。
Stolzenberg (1978) has argued thatfor white male employees the effect of schooling on logearnings is greater in larger establishments. We replicate Stolzenberg's study using the 1979 Current Population Survey. This survey includes information on establishment size and provides a much larger sample size to work with. Our results do not indicate a positive establishment size/schooling interaction. To the contrary, when Stolzenberg's (1978) model specification is used, ourfindings suggest that the interaction may be negative. We explore the sources of this discrepancy and are skeptical of the conventional wisdom that returns to schooling increase with establishment size.
