户籍身份与城镇职工教育收益率——分位回归估计系数的元分析

Household Registration Identity and Returns on Education in Urban China:A Meta-Analysis of Quantile Regression Estimates

本文采用元分析方法对基于分位回归模型考察中国城镇职工教育收益率分布特征的研究文献进行定量综述,重点关注户籍身份对教育收益率分布规律的影响。研究结果表明,城镇居民在分位回归中的教育收益率高于农村流动人口。此外,城镇居民的教育收益率具有较强的同质性,而农村流动人口的教育收益率表现出从收入条件分布的低端向高端逐渐增加的趋势。本文认为,教育收益率在分布特征上的户籍差异与劳动力市场分割以及教育资源分配不平等有关。

This paper performs a meta- analysis to assess quantile regression estimates of returns to education in urban China,with emphasis on the influences of Hukou identity on the distributions of quantile coefficients. We find that returns to education for rural migrant workers are lower than that for urban workers across quantiles,whereas urban- rural differences in returns to education are large in the lower quantiles and modest in the upper quantiles. The distribution differences between urban workers and rural migrant workers could be explained by labor market segmentation and unequal distribution of education resource.
