教育收益率估算中的计量偏误及调整方法的综述

摘要

Mincer's human capital earnings function has been widely used in empirical studies for estimating the rate of return to education. However, OLS estimates of Mincer's function potentially suffer from omitted variables, measurement error ,sample selectivity bias, heterogeneity and so on. Many econometric approaches are developed correspondingly to reduce the above-mentioned problems. This paper aims to conduct a thorough review of the results associated with those corrective approaches in order to provide an accurate estimate of China's rate of return to education.%明瑟收入方程在各国估算教育收益率的实证研究中得到了广泛的应用。由于使用OLS方法估算明瑟收益率会面临遗漏变量、测量误差、选择偏差和异质性等问题，国内外学者采用各种计量方法来保证教育收益率估算的准确性。本文围绕纠正明瑟收益率偏误的各种计量方法，对这些方法在估算中国教育收益率研究中的有效性进行探讨，以期为我国教育收益率的准确估计寻找新的思路。
