IZA Discussion paper 'Wage Returns to University Disciplines in Greece' by Dr Ilias Livanos
Discussion paper entitled “Wage Returns to University Disciplines in Greece: Are Greek Higher Education Degrees Trojan Horses?” is now available online as an IZA Discussion Paper
. This paper examines the wage returns to qualifications and academic disciplines in the Greek labour market using micro-data from recently available waves (2002-2003) of the Greek Labour Force Survey (LFS). The results show considerable variation in wage premiums across the fields of study, with lower returns for those that have a marginal role to play in an economy with a rising services/shrinking public sector.
