摘要

大学学位的价值通常被量化为有学位和没有学位的人之间的收入差异。这里提出的研究在两个重要方面实现了这一想法。首先,由于未来收入和学费是不确定的,因此开发了一个或有债权模型,因此,在不允许套利的经济中,评估未来收益的适当贴现率是内生的。其次,该模型除了对本科学历个体的收益估值敏感外,还对获得高学历的实物期权估值敏感。在这个框架中,高中文凭的价值显示为:(1)资本化收入,(2)获得本科学位的实物期权和(3)获得高级学位的嵌入或复合实物期权的总和。给出了数值算例,说明了该模型的性能和关键驱动因素。一个重要的发现是,如果忽视了进一步接受教育的实际选择,大学学位的价值可能会被大大低估。

What is the (Real Option) Value of a College Degree
The value of a college degree is often quantified as the difference in earnings between those with and without a degree. The research presented here operationalizes this idea in two important ways. First, since future income and tuition are uncertain, a contingent claims model is developed and the appropriate discount rate for valuing future earnings is, therefore, endogenized given an economy that does not permit arbitrage. Second, the model is sensitive to the valuation of the real option to obtain an advanced degree in addition to the valuation of the earnings for an individual with an undergraduate degree. In this framework, the value of a high school diploma is shown to be the sum of: (1) capitalized earnings, (2) the real option to obtain an undergraduate degree and (3) the embedded or compound real option to obtain an advanced degree. Numerical examples are presented that demonstrate the performance and key drivers of the model. One important finding is that by ignoring the real options to further one's education, the value of a college degree is likely significantly understated.
