摘要: Using the Swedish military enlistment test, this paper estimates return to schooling for individuals belonging different parts of ability distribution. It also attempts predict whether an endogenous test score causes bias in “ability-specific” returns that varies with score. A significant finding is a higher associated schooling, but positive association diminishing In general, ability-specific does not seem vary level.
