Economic geography and human capital accumulation in Turkey: evidence from micro-data
利用土耳其个人层面数据，研究市场可达性对人力资本积累的影响，发现其作用在考虑工资内生性后消失，对理解区域人力资本差异有参考价值。
This study examines the impact of market access on human capital accumulation in Turkey. Using individual-level data, the analysis explores the background of human capital accumulation, combining market accessibility, wages and human capital development. Upon the treatment of wages as an endogenous covariate of interest and overtime work as an exogenous source of variation, we find evidence that the impact of market access on human capital development vanishes in ways not predicted by the augmented New Economic Geography set-up for human capital accumulation. Findings confirm that economic policies may be effective in reducing regional variation in human capital endowments.
