劳动人事学院劳动经济系与中国就业研究所邀请孟岭生副教授,做技能互补性和高等教育的回报:在中国人民大学扩招的证据专题讲座。(Skill Complementarities and Returns to Higher Education: Evidence from the College Enrollment Expansion in China。)
We find that the increased supply of college graduates after the college enrollment expansion in China increases college premiums for the old cohort and decreases college premiums for the young cohort. This result is inconsistent with the canonical model that assumes substitution among workers of different ages. We subsequently build a simple model that considers complementarities among workers of different ages and different skill levels. The predictions of the model are supported by empirical tests.
