Abstract

This paper studies the effects of a landmark college expansion policy on wages in Russia. We construct a unique individual-level data set linking the supply of college campuses in an individual’s place of residence at age 17 with educational attainment and hourly wages in adulthood. Using parametric and semiparametric selection models, we demonstrate that the returns to college education in Russia are heterogeneous and depend on whether individuals live in areas with limited college availability. The cost-benefit analysis demonstrates that discounted net benefits of college education for students in constrained municipalities exceed those for students in large cities twofold.

大学扩招政策对工资影响的异质性——来自俄罗斯劳动力市场的证据

本文研究了俄罗斯具有里程碑意义的大学扩张政策对工资的影响。我们构建了一个独特的个人层面数据集，将17岁时个人居住地的大学校园供应与成年后的教育程度和时薪联系起来。使用参数和半参数选择模型，我们证明了俄罗斯大学教育的回报是异质的，取决于个人是否生活在大学可用性有限的地区。成本效益分析表明，大学教育对受限制城市学生的贴现净收益是大城市学生的两倍。

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.
