TY - RPRT AU - Patrinos, Harry Anthony TI - Returns to Education in Greece: Causal Evidence from the 1977 Labor Market Survey PY - 2025/Oct/ PB - Institute of Labor Economics (IZA) CY - Bonn T2 - IZA Discussion Paper IS - 18156 UR - https://www.iza.org/publications/dp18156 AB - We estimate the causal effect of schooling on log earnings using instrumental variables (IV), addressing the endogeneity of schooling by using father’s education as an instrument. The IV estimate implies a return of approximately 7.7 percent per additional year of schooling. First-stage and endogeneity tests confirm instrument strength and the need for IV.
