[Brownbag] Reminder and paper: Ernesto F. L. Amaral, Brown Bag Nov. 5

[Monique Verrier]

Dear brown bag community,

Ernesto F. L. Amaral will be giving the Demography Brown Bag talk this 
Wednesday, November 5. The paper is attached and the abstract is below. 
We hope to see you Wednesday.


Abstract

This paper estimates the impact of demographic and educational changes on 
the earnings and returns to schooling of workers in Brazil and Mexico. Our 
analysis takes into account demographic, educational and economic 
variations within each country over time, using Censuses microdata from 
Brazil and Mexico. Results suggest that demographic and educational 
transitions generate impact on earnings and on returns to education. The 
proportion of people in age-education groups tends to have a negative 
impact on earnings. These impacts are more detrimental among age-education 
groups with higher education, but they are having less of a negative 
effect over time. We also find that the effects of the concentration of 
skilled labor are greater than those observed in more developed countries. 
In the United States, the effects of concentration are observed only for 
those with higher level of education. In Brazil and Mexico, these effects 
are observed throughout the income distribution.
