Introduction to Special Issue on Overschooling.
Oosterbeek, Hessel
Economics of Education Review, v19 n2 p129-30 Apr 2000
This special issue was inspired by Greg Duncan and Saul Hoffman's 1981 article on the "incidence and wage effects of overeducation." These researchers used a Mincer earnings equation to determine that a substantial number of American workers were over- or under-educated for their chosen occupations. (MLH)
