Graduate returns

The primary objective of this research "Exploring occupational and career implications of human capital specificity: a fine arts case study" is to provide a riskadjusted ex ante return analysis of a fine arts education that can be useful as career advice for current and former fine arts students, but most of all, for potential fine arts students unsure about choosing this field of education.

In order to formulate the research questions a review of the literature was conducted, from which three questions emerged relating to the issue surrounding one’s decision to enroll in a fine arts course and the professional ‘use value’ of the human capital accumulated during this type of education.

In 1999, it became possible for international students graduating from Australian universities to apply for Skilled Independent Residence visas without first having to return home. Since then, the issue of the English language proficiency of non-English speaking background (NESB) international students graduating from Australian universities has been a focus of media attention.

Without net new jobs, however, the process is short-circuited. The painful results are most evident today in some European countries and in developing countries where an initial burst of technical-industrial growth has stagnated. In these situations, high unemployment has become so chronic that even many graduates of universities and technical schools cannot get a foothold in the workplace. The chance for these young people to develop their skills and contribute their ideas is deferred and, in many cases, lost.

We utilize a longitudinal survey of registrants for the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) to estimate the economic returns to an MBA. The GMAT exam, an admissions requirement for most MBA programs, is similar to the SAT for undergraduates without the competition from the ACT. The survey, sponsored by the Graduate Management Admissions Council (GMAC), was administered in four waves, beginning in 1990 and ending in 1998. 14 In addition, survey responses were linked to GMAC’s registration and test data, which includes personal background information and GMAT scores.

While there is a broad literature on the returns to schooling, few studies have investigated the returns to an MBA. The value of an MBA degree is a concern to potential MBA students, and articles in the popular press and schools themselves often report average starting salaries of graduates as an indicator of program effectiveness without addressing issues of selection. The more rigorous attempts to determine the efficiency or value-added of MBA programs rely on aggregate data of student characteristics as reported by top-rated schools (Tracy and Waldfogel, 1997; Colbert et al.

Therefore an Executive MBA degree program was created that is open for management / business ad- ministration graduates as well as for graduates from other disciplines (e.g. computer science, engineer- ing, economics, and psychology). The Executive MBA in Business Engineering program is offered as a part-time program. To guarantee an effective learning situation, two-week learning periods at the uni- versity alternate with six-week practice periods in which the students return to their jobs.

Naturally, the student will start in the IB sector if uf (w0 f ) ug(w0 g). As a re- sult of heterogeneity in MBAs’ preferences, though the marginal graduate is indifferent between the two sectors, some (perhaps nearly all) graduates ex- pect to strictly prefer the sector they choose. The state of the stock market is likely to have a larger marginal effect on expectations about w0 f than income in the general sector because favorable conditions on Wall Street will increase demand for labor and expected pay.

James Madison was born in King George County, Va., on the 16th of March, 1751. He was the son of James Madison, the family being of English descent, and among the early settlers of Virginia. Was fitted for college by private tutors, and entered Princeton College in 1769, graduating in 1771; remained a year at college pursuing his studies. After this he returned to Virginia and began the practice of law. In 1776 was elected a member of the general assembly of Virginia, and in 1778 was appointed a member of the executive council. In the winter of 1779-80 was chosen a delegate to the...

American universities, indeed, universities throughout the world, are facing increased demand to share the knowledge developed within their campuses. Historically, students pass knowledge to the greater society. But since at least the 1960s, the university’s research role has dramatically increased, with more and more resources devoted to basic and applied research in the physical and biological sciences, engineering, humanities, social sciences, and management fields. Not all of this research can be transmitted through the graduation of students.

WAGE RETURNS FOR POST -SECONDARY EDUCATION: A COMPARISON FOR SELECTED PROGRAMS BY LEVELS OF EDUCATION AND INDUSTRY TYPE The potential effects of school choice programs depend critically on what characteristics parents value in schools. Hanushek, for example, notes that parents might not choose effective schools over others that are less effective but offer “pleasant surroundings, athletic facilities, [and] cultural advantages,” (1981, p. 34). To the extent that parents choose productive schools, market discipline can induce greater productivity from school administrators and teachers.

Moreover, an investigation of the sampling variability of Hoxby’s estimates leads to the conclusion that her standard errors are understated, and that even her own point estimates of the competitive effect are not significantly different from zero....

SEQUENTIAL REVEALING OF INFORMATION AND THE RETURNS TO EDUCATIONAL SIGNALS Caution is required, however, in generalizing from this chapter’s results to choice markets that do not link school assignment to residential location. Under Tiebout choice, parents may have to give up desired neighborhood amenities—views, parks, air quality, or characteristics of neighbors—to obtain a more effective school.

The gap in peer quality between adjacent districts has grown substantially, and families therefore require a much larger μ return to justify a move from one district to another whose current residents are lower in the x distribution.
