College Quality and Overeducation.
Robst, John
Economics of Education Review, v14 n3 p221-28 Sep 1995
Examines the college quality/overeducation relationship. If workers attending lower quality colleges receive less human capital per year of schooling, they may require more schooling than the typical person to be qualified for their job. Using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, a negative relationship is found between college quality and the likelihood of being overeducated. (MLH)
