Which Human Capital Matters for Rich and Poor's Wages? Evidence from Matched Worker-Firm Data from Tunisia

Abstract: We study the returns to human capital for workers observed in Tunisian matched worker-firm data in 1999. This tells us how these returns differ from those obtained in industrialised countries with matched data. We develop a new method based on multivariate analysis of firm characteristics, which allows us most of the benefits obtained by introducing firm fixed effects in wage equations for studying the effect of education. It also provides a human capital interpretation of these firm effects. Moreover, using t… Show more

“…Another strategy to temper the effects of firm heterogeneity consists in adding a large number of control variables to our regressions. In this paper, we rely on an alternative strategy to control for unobserved firm heterogeneity which is likely to bias the estimated coefficients and rely on a factor analysis following Muller and Nordman (2004) and Jellal et alii (2008).…”

“…First, factor analyses can be used to elicit hidden characteristics correlated with observable characteristics. Second, PCA results could be utilised as a guide to replace these hidden firm characteristics with observable characteristics correlated with the main factors (as in Muller and Nordman, 2004). Third, and foremost in our case, the PCA is used as a substitute for firm fixed effect regressions.…”
