Abstract

Overeducation is an issue of concern in the public discourse that has implications for aggregate labor productivity. Extending a literature focused on individual outcomes, we find productivity-enhancing effects in Canadian data by province and industry spanning 1997–2015. Dynamic panel models with external instruments show that productivity increases by about 3% for each 1% increase in the overeducation shares. Effects are largest among industries with more intangible capital investment or with more jobs that require university education and among small-firm employees that are not unionized. Our results provide yet another argument for the benefits of postsecondary education.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
