From returns to education to policy

Abstract: This paper analyses to which extent estimates of returns to education can inform policy makers on supply-side policies taking into account the demand for education and clearing in educational markets. I construct a model of the centralized clearing house mechanism of tertiary education in Denmark and use this model to simulate the full market clearing under counterfactual supply. By exploiting the cutoff-structure of the assignment mechanism I estimate returns to fields in a Regression Discontinuity setting and show that even for programs with similar estimated returns, supply-side policies vary widely in their return once market clearing is taken into account.
