dc.description.abstractThis study analyzes the economic returns to schooling decisions made by high school graduates in Colombia -- We wanted to verify if the economic returns (wages) obtained by newly postsecondary education graduates compensate the economic and psychological investment they made in order to get that academic degree -- To answer that question, we estimated these economic returns for each type of postsecondary degree available in Colombia by origin of the institution (public or private) -- Our methodological strategy includes the generation of a micro-data base that contains agents’ socio-economic background and also their individual labor market outcomes -- Because agents with very similar characteristics and the same schooling decisions might get different economic returns from education, we considered as part of our empirical strategy the inclusion of an approximation of agents’ cognitive abilitiesspa
