中国城镇居民各级教育收益率及其变化研究：2002～2009年

Private Returns to Different Education Levels in Urban China: 2002～ 2009

本文使用国家统计局城镇入户调查数据对21世纪以来中国城镇居民各级教育的收益率及其变化趋势进行了估算。主要结果表明，近年来教育收益率并没有延续整个20世纪90年代至21世纪最初5年那样快速增长的态势，而是逐渐趋于平稳，甚至有轻微的下降迹象。

This paper calculated the private rate of returns to different education Levels and analyzed the long-term trend in Urban China from 2002 to 2009 using Mincer equation and data collected by China’s National Bureau of Statistics. The result showed that the fast-growing trend found in 1990s and the early 2000s no longer existed. Flat or slight descending trend was detected， instead.
