| Abstract: | Using semi-parametric econometric techniques to investigate the relationship between basic skills and earnings in three post-communist countries and the International Adult Literacy Survey dataset. It is found that including a measure of basic skills in a Mincer model reduces the returns to education. In addition, using a partially linear model, in which log earnings is linear in education but is an arbitrary function of basic skills, The author argues that this relationship is not well described by the common assumption of linearity at the tails of the distribution. |
