Is There a Risk-Return Trade-Off across Occupations? Evidence from Spain by Luis Diaz-Serrano, Joop Hartog (October 2004) published as 'Is there a risk-return trade-off in educational choices? Evidence from Spain' in: Investigaciones Economicas, 2006, 30 (2), 353-380 Abstract: We use data from Spain to test for an effect of earnings risk and skewness on individual wages. We carry out separate estimation for men, women, public and private sector employees. In accordance with previous evidence for the US we show the existence of a riskreturn trade-off across occupations in the Spanish labour market. These results are in conformity with preferences of risk-averse individuals with decreasing absolute risk aversion. Text: See Discussion Paper No. 1355
