• W2181661591 abstract "Using Danish micro data on high school education, tertiary education, and wages, this paper investigates the importance of the field of study for the returns to education. Our OLS results suggest that a degree within the human arts seems considerably less valuable (in terms of earnings) than a degree within other fields, echoing previous result for the UK and US. However, since the choice of which type of education to pursue is likely non-random, these results may reflect selection rather than the causal impact of the field of study on wages. To examine this issue we adopt an instrumental variable approach to the issue at hand. Our identification strategy consists of using observed characteristics of the peer group the individual student were exposed to during high school. In particular, we document that the fraction of female students in a high school impacts on individuals’ choice of education. Similarly, the educational choices of high school seniors and freshmen are highly related. Conditional on high school fixed effects, and a large number of individual specific student characteristics (e.g., family background, high school test performance etc.), these characteristics should not affect wages directly. We therefore employ them as instruments for the choice of field of study at the tertiary level. In contrast to our OLS results, our 2SLS results reveal that the return to a degree within the humanities is the same as that of other fields of study. Hence, the OLS results appears to be attributable to selection. This result is in stark contrast to existing findings in the literature, where human arts students typically are found to do far worse in terms of earnings than students of other disciplines." @default.
