摘要: Abstract We evaluate the impact of educational expansion and changes in labor market institutions on wage inequality among Mexican workers using a simulation technique proposed by Knight Sabot [The American Economic Review 73(5) (1983) 1132–1136]. conclude that while increases relative rate return higher education would have induced an increase inequality, composition distribution led to stronger decline inequality. Instead, increased is largely explained institutions; namely, unionization minimum wages.
