“…The schooling coefficient in the IV2SLS estimation (with Z2) is nearly double the corresponding OLS coefficient. The higher returns to schooling yielded by the IV2SLS approach are confirmed by several other researchers using French data (see Boumahdi & Plassard, 1992;Viger, 2007).…”

“…Inspired by numerous studies on the relationship between earnings/wages and their determinants in different countries, a number of studies have been carried out using French data to investigate different aspects of the French labor market (see, for example, Abdelkarim & Skalli, 2005;Boumahdi & Plassard, 1992;Fougère, Goux, & Maurin, 2001;Selz & Thélot, 2004). However, few studies address the issue of the endogeneity of schooling in this context (e.g., Boumahdi and Plassard, 1992;Steunou, 2003;Viger, 2007). We aim to eliminate the possible endogeneity bias in returns to schooling when applied to French data with the help of certain new instruments.…”

This article estimates the economic returns to schooling as well as analyzing other explanatory factors for the French labor market. It addresses the issue of endogeneity bias and proposes two new instruments for use in the instrumental variable two-stage least squares technique. Our results show that the proposed instruments are relevant and adequate, based on evidence from the available literature. After using the proposed instruments, we find that the OLS coefficients for schooling are biased downwards. Finally, we choose between the two proposed instruments.

“…What is more, the estimation by OLS underestimates the return of education and experience on salaries (Boumahdi and Plassard, 1992). This underestimation stems from the fact that young people have unobserved assets or characteristics that would also explain the income variability.…”

“…From this point of view, where the education variable is used in the theory of human capital, specifically in the Mincer earnings function, it does not allow the system's influence to be felt in all its complexity, such as the impact of family environment or social origin on income. This is one of the most significant criticisms made of this theory (Riboud, 1978;Kiker and Heath, 1985;Boumahdi and Plassard, 1992).…”

The aim of this article is to identify and compare the impact of human capital investment, gender and labour market characteristics on income inequality in the different categories of young employed people in four Arab countries (Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt and Lebanon). We are supported by the results of the SAHWA Youth Survey 2015. The main results show a significant impact of human capital investment on incomes in the countries studied. It is greatest in Lebanon and Tunisia. Additionally, when levels of human capital are equal, young Lebanese are the best paid. Educational inequalities linked to social origin have a confirmed effect on the investment in education, above all in Egypt and Lebanon. What is more, the effects of gender inequalities are clearly evident despite women investing more than men in human capital: with equivalent levels of education and experience women's income is 54% lower on average than men's. This differential is still more pronounced in Algeria and Egypt. For Algeria, though the impact of social origin on education inequalities is modest compared to the other countries, the study shows that it is at the lower end of the scale when it comes to the return on human capital and income equality between men and women. The difficulty of incorporating the best educated into the labour market, the social management of employment and the absence of a clear wage policy in the private sector may explain these income inequalities.

“…Chaque famille est donc supposée financer de la même manière les études de leurs enfants ou le marché financier est supposé d'une efficacité parfaite, de telle sorte que les individus les plus aptes obtiennent systématiquement des prêts à des taux intéressants (remboursables après la scolarité). Or, le marché financier n'est évidemment pas parfait et le lien empiriquement constaté en France entre profession du père et profession du fils (Thélot [1982]) ou entre le niveau d'études des parents et celui des enfants (Boumahdi et Plassard [1992]) n'est vraisemblablement pas uniquement associé à l'influence de l'origine sociale sur les aptitudes intrinsèques, mais aussi au lien entre ces origines et le coût relatif des études.…”
