| Descripción: | Sheepskin effects refer to individuals' earnings (or income) associated with obtaining a diploma. To determine the relationship between education and individuals' economic prosperity, evidence of sheepskin effects associated with the completion of successive levels of education in Argentina is found. Data from the Permanent Household Survey conducted by the National Institute of Statistics and Census (INDEC, 2021) in Argentina, with 15,199 records corresponding to the third quarter of 2021, are used. Two econometric models are applied: a general model, where income is explained in terms of the effect of variables representing schooling, experience, control variables, and those indicating the diploma obtained, and another model without the variables representing the degree. The results obtained, after controlling for the effects of schooling, show the importance of credentials as an explanatory factor of returns to education. The sheepskin effects found seem to validate, at least partially, the credential hypothesis. In general terms, the completion of successive levels of higher education increases earnings. |
