| Abstract: | The authors examine the role of the Norwegian education system in explaining the moderate and stable earnings dispersion in Norway. Estimating earnings equations for 1980 and 1990, the authors find that returns to education have been remarkably stable in Norway, also when they compare returns to education across different sectors of the economy. Their analysis controls for self-selection into education by using an instrumental variable technique. They estimate separate education earnings profiles for different cohorts to identify the effect on wage premiums of the large changes that have taken place in the Norwegian education system. |
