The Utilization of Education and Skills: Evidence from Britain (2002, background): “Furthermore, Dolton and Vignoles (2000) showed that the type of education mattered.”
Overeducation and Mismatch in the Labor Market (2011, neutral): “This is the approach of Robst (1994) and Dolton and Silles (2008). When measurement error is non-classical, instrumental variables is however also biased.”
Immigrant overeducation: Evidence from recent arrivals to Australia (2007, background): “This means lower overall returns to education for the overeducated (Battu, Bel…eld and Sloane 1999, 2000, Dolton and Vignoles 2000, Chevalier 2003, Rubb 2003 and Frenette 2004).”
Job-Worker Mismatch and Cognitive Decline (2005, background): “However, several studies have found that for a large group of workers overeducation is a long-term phenomenon (e.g. Dolton & Vignoles, 2000; Sloane, et al., 1999).”
Overeducation in the graduate labour market: A quantile regression approach (2007, background): “Dolton & Vignoles (2000) argue that once a graduate is overeducated, his or her human capital appears to have little impact on earnings, whilst McGuinness (2003b) failed to reject the hypothesis that the slopes of a graduate earnings model containing only human capital variables were jointly zero.”
Human capital theory and venture capital firms: exploring “home runs” and “strike outs” (2005, neutral): “indicators of performance, namely career progress (Wayne, Liden, Kraimer, and Graf, 1999) and job attainment (Dolton and Vignoles, 2000).”
Overeducation in the labor market: a comment and re-analysis of a meta-analysis (2003, methodology): “These models are presented by Sloane, Battu and Seaman (1999) for the UK in 1986, Vahey (2000) for Canada in 1982, and Dolton and Vignoles (2000) for the UK in 1986.”
An Analysis of Skill Mismatch Using Direct Measures of Skills (2011, background): “Education mismatch (or qualification mismatch) has been the most studied concept of mismatch (e.g., Oosterbeek, 2000; Hartog, 2000; Dolton & Vignoles, 2000; Groot & Maasen van den Brink, 2000; Mendes de Oliveira, Santos & Kiker, 2000; Vahey, 2000; Daly, Buchel & Duncan, 2000; Sloane, 2007; Verhaest…”
Are we educating too much? Overeducation in the labor market: A meta analysis (2000, background): “All of the definitions have their drawbacks and limitations; for a discussion on these, see Clogg and Shockey (1984), Dolton and Vignoles (2000), Halaby (1994) and Hartog (2000).”
Educational mismatch and wages: a panel analysis (2002, background): “(1), mismatched workers are compared to similar workers with the same level of schooling 3 Some studies of the wage effects of educational mismatch use data with a panel character (see for example Battu, Belfield, & Sloane, 1999; Daly, Büchel, & Duncan, 2000; Dolton & Vignoles, 2000).”
Labour Market Mismatch Among UK Graduates: An Analysis Using Reflex Data (2011, background): “8 The competency fields are (1) mastery of own discipline (2) knowledge of other disciplines (3) analytical thinking (4) ability to acquire new knowledge (5) ability to negotiate (6) ability to perform under pressure (7) alertness to new opportunities (8) ability to coordinate activities (9) ability”
Overeducation: a short or long run phenomenon for individuals? (2003, background): “ Dolton and Vignoles (2000) fi nd, in a survey covering the years 1980 and 1986, that 38% of graduates in the UK were overeducated in their fi rst job while 30% were overeducated 6 years later1.”
