Regressions of the log of annual earnings on education and problem solving skills, controlling for experience, gender, community size, nativity and parents' education, ALL 2003 and 2008
Notes: The values presented are calculated using the estimated regression equations from each country. Fitted values for earnings were calculated for skill and education levels, substituting sample means and proportions for all other variables in the model.
The earnings premiums for the education levels represent the percentage difference from individuals with less than upper secondary education.
The earnings premiums for medium to high skill represent the percentage difference from individuals with low skill (Levels 1 and 2).
Skill and education effects that were not statistically significant at conventional levels were set to zero.
