TESIS PARA OPTAR AL GRADO DE Magíster en Análisis Económico / Using a longitudinal database that follows individuals from their last years of
schooling to their first years at labor market we apply a decomposition methodology
in order to understand the wage differentials among school types in Chile. With
micro-simulations exercises we can isolate the impact on wages of changes in the
academic achievements of individuals and changes in their associated returns in
labor market.
Our results show that even when adding one extra standard deviation to the test
score achieved by the most vulnerable individuals at high school, there is a
considerable difference in the endowments returns between groups that makes
almost impossible to close the existent wage gap between them at labor market.
In this way, as long as the prices of the academic achievement in the labor market
remain constant, no public policy or major investment e orts will succeed in
eliminating the wage differentials between school types.
