Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Typically estimates of the benefits of education investments show average private rates of return for the average individual. The average may not be useful for policy. An examination of the distribution of the returns across individuals is needed. The few studies that have examined these patterns focus on high-income countries, showing investments to be more profitable at the top of the income distribution. The implication is that investments may increase inequality. Extending the analysis to 16 East Asian and Latin American countries the authors observe mixed evidence in middle-income countries and decreasing returns in low-income countries. Such differences between countries could be due to more job mobility in industrial countries, scarcity of skills, or differential exposure to market forces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work, we revisit the traditional human capital framework and infer that risk as measured by the shape of the returns to education's distributions should be included. While education is often considered to be an investment good, human capital models often ignore the impact of risk on education investment decisions. This thesis has two aims. First, we want to find out how our different measures of risk evolved through time and between different groups. Second, we want to find out if those risks impacted education investment decisions through changes in the expected returns. That is, we investigate whether there exist risk-return trade-offs in education. In the first chapter, we overview nonparametric (spline and kernel) regression methods and illustrate how they may be used in labor economic applications. We focus our attention on issues commonly found in the labor literature such as how to account for endogeneity via instrumental variables in a nonparametric setting. We showcase these methods via data from the Current Population Survey. In the second chapter, we estimate the risk-return trade-off in the context of education. If education is treated like any other investment good, risk could play an important role in individual's educational decisions. As portfolio theory predicts, there could be a trade-off between returns to education and risks concerning the returns: higher risks are generally associated with higher returns. We contribute to the literature by proposing various measures of risk based on the distribution of returns to education, which are in turn based on nonparametric regression results using the Current Population Survey dataset (1980-2015). We infer that risk-averse individuals prefer distributions with positive skewness and low kurtosis. Our results confirm the findings of the literature, i.e. we observe compensation for variance. We also find statistically significant compensation for the higher moments: skewness and kurtosis. Interestingly, we find that the relationship between expected returns and the higher moments skewness and kurtosis is non-linear. In the third chapter, we build on the second chapter to test two hypothesis: first whether there is heterogeneity in the risk of educational investments and if so whether there is compensation for that risk. We use our individual-level estimated rates of return to education and split them in three different ways: by occupation, by region and race, and by region and education-level. We infer that there is heterogeneity, not only in the expected returns (1st moment), but also in the risk faced by individuals (higher moments). We also add to the second chapter by testing whether risk-return trade-offs exist between occupations, whites and non-whites, and different education-level. We expect, for example, occupations that retain higher risk to be compensated by higher mean returns. Generally, we find risk-return trade-offs exist between states, occupations, whites and non-whites, and different education-level, for all three measures of risk. Surprisingly, we find that kurtosis matters more than skewness as a measure of risk. Moreover, the trade-offs between skewness, kurtosis, and expected returns are not always in the directions predicted by theory on decision making under uncertainty.

This book was released on 2021-03-24 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers in-depth analyses of how education interacts with social inequality in Southern contexts. Drawing on a range of disciplinary frameworks, it presents new analyses of existing knowledge and new empirical data which define the challenges and possibilities of successful educational reform. It is a tribute to the work of the late Christopher Colclough, who, as a leading figure in education and international development, played a key role in the global fight for education for all children. The book critically engages with international evidence of educational access, retention and outcomes, offering new understandings of how social inequalities currently facilitate, mediate or restrict educational opportunities. It exposes the continuing influence of wealth and regional inequalities and caste and gendered social structures. Researchers in Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Pakistan and Uganda highlight how the aspirations of families living in poverty remain unfilled by poor-quality education and low economic opportunities and how schools and teachers currently address issues of gender, disability and diversity. The book highlights a range of new priorities for research and identifies some necessary strategies for education reform, policy approaches and school practice, if educational equality for all children is to be achieved. The book will be of great interest to researchers, scholars, educational practitioners and policy-makers in the fields of economics, politics and sociology of education, international education, poverty research and international development.
