Abstract: In this paper, we perform a meta-analysis of 1599 estimates extracted from 69 previous studies to identify time-series changes in returns to education in 20 European emerging markets. We also examine possible difference in returns to education across the region. A meta-synthesis of collected estimates suggests a decreasing trend over time in returns to education in European emerging markets as a whole. Synthesis results also indicate that the western part of the region tends to have higher returns to education than the eastern part. Both the meta-regression analysis of literature heterogeneity and the test for publication selection bias produced findings that are highly consistent with the meta-synthesis results.
