It was found that secondary school graduates enjoyed 13% returns whilst a university degree led to 17% returns. The Hungerford and Solon Test [1987], applied to a quantile regression, found returns ranging from 7% to 17% for secondary school graduates (across the entire income range) whilst a university degree produced returns between 17% and 27% KW - Mercado laboral KW - Educación KW - Economía KW - Economics UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10906/82306 ER -
