While large negative estimates dominate the literature, we show that researchers report positive and insignificant estimates less often than they should. After correcting for this publication bias, we find that the literature is consistent with the mean tuition-enrollment elasticity being close to zero. The second essay shows how easily firms can substitute workers with different educational backgrounds. We evaluate the elasticity of substitution between skilled and unskilled workers, which is a key parameter in the analysis of wage inequality. We show that the empirical literature is consistent with both publication and attenuation bias in the estimated inverse elasticities. The publication bias-corrected estimates remain close to zero. The result is consistent with attenuation bias in the literature and implies an elasticity of 4 after correction for both biases. The third essay shows how the real implementation of the Russian Unified State Exam (USE) reform...

Specificity of joint stock companies with state property interest Abstract This diploma thesis focuses on state-owned stock companies.
