Abstract

This research is aimed at estimating the marginal rate of return to Undergraduate and Graduate Education (UGE) in Mexico with a gender approach. To that end, the impacts of the UGE on the earnings of men and women who have completed an undergraduate or a graduate program are assessed. The estimation of the wage earning rate is carried out by using the procedure proposed by Heckman, Tobias and Vytlacil (2000) and (2001). The information used for the estimates is based on a sample from the National Household Income and Expenditure Survey (ENIGH for its acronym in Spanish) 2012. The proposed estimation procedure addresses the problems associated with heterogeneity and self-selection of individuals. The main empirical result of this research is that UGE has a positive impact on wage income in both genders, but the impact is lower for women.
