Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: Expanded international data from the PIAAC survey of adult skills allows this paper to analyze potential sources of the cross-country variation of comparably estimated labor-market returns to skills in a more diverse set of 32 countries. Returns to skills are systematically larger in countries that have grown faster in the recent past, consistent with models where skills are particularly important for adaptation to dynamic economic change.
