Labour Market Returns to Higher Education in Vietnam
(Published in Quasi Markets in Education)
Abstract
This paper employs the Ordinary Least Squares, Instrumental Variables and Treatment Effect models to a new dataset from the Vietnam Household Living Standards Survey (VHLSS) to estimate return to the four-year university education in 2008. Our estimates reveal that the return to university education is about 17% (annualized) and robust to the various estimators. The return to higher education has significantly increased since the economic reform in late 1980s.Paper submitted to the special issue Quasi Markets in EducationÂ
