摘要: This paper estimates educational choice, wage determination, and the rate of return to education in Taiwan using Taiwan`s Manpower Utilization Survey data of 1996. As education investment is a self-selection process, this paper adopts a two-stage estimation method. First, a polychotomous ordered probit model is used to estimate the education decision. Second, the wage equations of different educational attainments are estimated by incorporating the possible selection bias obtained in the probit model. Finally, rates of return on each education level are calculated from the estimation results. The main findings of the paper are as follows. (1) Family factors significantly affect a person`s selection of education level, for example, the larger the number of children in the family, the lower the educational attainment of the children; the higher the parents` education and work position, the higher their children`s education; and children from single parent families tend to attain a lower level education. (2) Significant negative selection bias is found in the male group for university; and in the female group for vocational school, junior college, and university. On the other hand, significant positive bias is only found in the female group for senior high school. (3) The estimated annual rates of return to schooling are 2.30% for high school, 3.98% for vocational school, 4.58% for junior college, and 12.20% for university. In general, consistent with the literature, we find that the female has a higher return rate to education than the male for most educational levels.
