Abstract: The authors estimate the impact on wages of educational mismatch and other components of workers' human capital for a cross-section of 3,314 wage earners in 181 hotels and 121 restaurants in Andalusia. The estimated results show that there is a positive wage premium to over-education in the sector, but also that particular types of education – specific vocational education, languages and computer skills – reap rewards for workers in the marketplace.
