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.

UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY RATES OF RETURN TO ADVANCE EUDUCATION IN ALBERTA AND CANADA Parents exert some control over their children’s school assignment via their residential location decisions, and can exit undesirable schools by moving to a neighborhood served by a different school district. As U.S.

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.

THE RATE OF RETURN TO EDUCATION AND THE GENDER EARNINGS DIFFERENTIAL : A COMPARISON OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE REPULIC OF IRELAND I am very much indebted to David Card, for limitless advice and support throughout my graduate school career. The research here has benefited in innumerable ways from his many suggestions, as have I. It is hard to imagine a better advisor.

The Market for Higher Education: Economic Analyses of College Choice , Returns , and State Aid Policy A thesis Present I find suggestive evidence, however, that her estimates, from a sample of public school students, are upward biased by selection into private schools. 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.

A Comparative Study of returns to education and the Importance of Genetic and Environment Factors: Evidence from Different twins data It thus seems likely that the character of equilibrium will depend crucially on the particular institutions of any choice program. Further research with large-scale voucher programs will be needed to determine whether administrators of effective schools are rewarded by increased demand in the choice regimes that these policies create.

EXTERNAL AUDITOR'S EVALUTIONS OF INTERNAL : A CONJOINT MEASURRMENT APPROACH When we add concern for peer group to the three-district market, there is substantially more potential for mis-sortings than even in the ten-district case. 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.

Competition in Product Variety: Theory and Evidence I begin by describing the allocation of effectiveness in illustrative equilibria, then describe the simulation and its results. Finally, at the end of this section I return to the basic model to discuss its allocative implications and the likely effects of endogenizing school effectiveness.

AN INQUIRY ll’TO THE EFFECTS OF PERSONALITY VARIABLES ON THE ECONOMIC RETURN TO EDUCATION The potential efficiency-enhancing effects of increased Tiebout choice operate through the assumption that parents prefer schools with j μ -promoting policies. To the extent that this is true, Tiebout choice induces a positive correlation between j μ and j x , since high- i x families will outbid lower- i x families for homes near the most preferred schools.

The Social Return to Education Since model (1) excludes school resources, the term x jγ potentially captures both conventional peer group effects and other indirect effects associated with the family background characteristics of students at school j .
