| dc.description.abstract | Results reported in this paper indicate that the returns-to-schooling profile exhibits a peculiar departure from log-linearity. In particular, for white males, the return to the 15th year of schooling (the third year of college) seems to be much smaller than that predicted by log-linearity. That is, people with 15 years of schooling do not appear to earn any more than those with 14 years of schooling. I discuss several theories and evidence that may explain the peculiarity. Amongst them, measurement error in schooling seems the most plausible. | en_US |
