Resumen
MENDIETA OSSIO, Pablo. Wasted years: Informality and returns to education in Bolivia. rlde [online]. 2022, n.37, pp.87-111. Epub 01-Mayo-2022. ISSN 2074-4706.
During the last years some estimates showed a low average return on schooling in Bolivia. With the use of two databases, the standard annual household survey and the novel demand for skills survey, I found a non-linear shape of schooling returns. Even more, I improved the estimation with the use of a segmented labor market approach. Joint a matching technique, I estimated models which support the hypothesis that this pattern is due to a widespread informality issue. I explore the ways this result could be enhanced with a skill connection and a general-equilibrium segmented search labor model.
