Educational Choice, Families, and Young People's Earnings.

Ermisch, John; Francesconi, Marco

Journal of Human Resources, v35 n1 p143-76 Win 2000

British data were used to compare an individual model of returns to education and a family model in which parents allocate resources for education differently to their children to compensate for different employment potential. Results show education is endogenous for young adults' earnings and the family model is supported. (SK)
