Abstract

We estimate the returns to college by school type using data from the Italian Participation Labor and Unemployment Survey. We find that returns are lower for vocational than for academic high school graduates in terms of employment probability (−4%), hourly wages (−3.1%), and the probability of finding the first job less than 1 year after graduation (−9.2%). The wage penalty associated with high school vocational education is lower when we consider college majors such as engineering and economics and business, for which the complementarity with the vocational skills developed in high school is presumably higher.

大学之路

我们使用意大利参与劳动力和失业调查的数据，按学校类型估计了大学的回报率。我们发现，在就业概率（−4%）、时薪（−3.1%）和毕业后不到1年找到第一份工作的概率（−9.2%）方面，职业教育的回报率低于学历高中毕业生，与高中时培养的职业技能的互补性可能更高。

期刊介绍： Journal of Human Capital is dedicated to human capital and its expanding economic and social roles in the knowledge economy. Developed in response to the central role human capital plays in determining the production, allocation, and distribution of economic resources and in supporting long-term economic growth, JHC is a forum for theoretical and empirical work on human capital—broadly defined to include education, health, entrepreneurship, and intellectual and social capital—and related public policy analyses. JHC encompasses microeconomic, macroeconomic, and international economic perspectives on the theme of human capital. The journal offers a platform for discussion of topics ranging from education, labor, health, and family economics.
