明瑟收入方程的本土化研究述评

The Review on the Localization Study of Mincer Function

明瑟收入方程对教育与收入的有效估计已在经验研究中得到广泛应用。我国学者从引入明瑟方程到改良方程计算不同类型的教育收益率,有效地实现了对明瑟方程的本土化研究。文章以研究视角为线索对国内相关文献作简明梳理,从教育收益率的精确估算、时序研究、关键变量扩展与控制变量扩展四个方面对明瑟方程在我国的运用与扩展进行述评。

Mincer function has been widely used in empirical studies for studying the earnings-education relationship.Chinese scholars implement the localization of Mincer function and improve it to estimate the different types of return on education.This paper reviews the exertion and expansion of Mincer function in China from four viewpoints of accurate estimation,time series analysis,key variables expansions and dummy variables expansions.
