AJARE | 刘承芳 等：中国农村教育的回报：一些新的估计【转】

摘要简单翻译（请以英文为准）：

我们使用2016年收集的初次调查数据估算了中国农村的教育收益率。估计的平均教育收益率为3.1％。但是，在估算教育收益时需要仔细的统计分析。该论文表明，考虑到就业中断后，测得的教育收益会上升。我们的结果还证实，使用小时工资率（相对于每日或每月收入）对工资率的错误计量会提高对教育回报率的估计。最后，我们的结果表明，教育收益在教育水平上是非线性的，但只有在达到高等教育水平时才是非线性的。

Abstract

We estimate the rates of return to education in rural China using primary survey data collected in 2016. Estimated average returns to education are 3.1 per cent. However, careful statistical analysis is required when estimating the returns to education. The paper demonstrates that when employment interruptions are accounted for, the measured returns to education rise. Our results also confirm that mismeasurement of the wage rate by using an hourly wage rate (versus daily or monthly earnings) raises the estimation of rates of return to education. Finally, our results suggest that the return to education is nonlinear in education levels but only when it reaches the tertiary level.
