Abstract

This paper estimates returns to education during a period of sharp wage cuts in Greece, considering both the endogenous nature of education and women’s self-selection. Findings suggest that dramatic wage declines were followed by sharp decreases in returns to education, while the documented convergence of returns between genders is an added benefit. Once endogeneity is examined, using parental education and number of siblings in the household as instruments, and self-selection is accounted for, returns to education almost double compared to OLS. These findings are verified using several robustness tests and alternative specifications.
