Returns to schooling in different industries: The case of the Czech Republic
Havlín, Martin ; Pertold-Gebicka, Barbara (advisor) ; Čechová, Kristýna (referee)
The thesis examines two main issues that were not covered in much detail or at all in studies that used Czech data. Firstly, the thesis analyzes the returns to schooling taking into consideration the industry, where the individual works, and secondly, the thesis measures how returns to schooling differ in certain industry groups. An OLS regression is run based on an adjusted Mincer equation with dummy variables for the highest achieved level of schooling rather than years of schooling. The results of the first analysis show differences among returns to schooling levels and indicate that industry affects the hourly wage of individuals. The results of the second main analysis reveal substantial differences of returns to schooling for different industry groups.
