- Right for the Job: Over-Qualified or Under-Skilled? (2011, background): “…of the effect of mismatch on worker’s wages, job satisfaction and on-the-job search is a key issue in the literature on qualification mismatch and several meta-analyses have been carried out so far (Groot and Maasen van den Brink, 2000; Rubb, 2003; Verhaest and Omey, 2006; and Quintini, 2011).”
- Global Employment Trends for Youth, 2006 (2006, background): “Undereducated workers earn less than the well matched at the same job, but more than workers with the same educational level and a matching job (Groeneveld and Hartog, 2004; Hartog, 2000; Rubb, 2003).”
- Immigrant overeducation: Evidence from recent arrivals to Australia (2007, methodology): “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).”
- Immigrant over-education: evidence from Denmark (2007, unknown): “Our results for native Danes are quite similar to the average returns reported in the metaanalysis by Rubb (2003a) .”
- Education and skills mismatch in the Italian graduate labour market (2006, unknown): “Rubb ( 2003b ) argues that a meta-analysis that combines the results of studies using both approaches is likely to lead to biased estimates of the impact of surplus schooling on earnings.”
- Overeducation in the Labour Market (2006, unknown): “Sattinger (1993) points out that relative wages have been changing over time with earnings becoming more unequal.”
- Mexico's labor market: The importance of education-occupation matching on wages and productivity in developing countries (2006, methodology): “The approach has been used with US data (Verdugo & Verdugo, 1989; Cohn & Khan, 1995; Rubb, 2003b), US and Hong Kong data (Cohn, Johnson, & Ng, 2000), Hong Kong data (Ng, 2001), and Portugal data (Kiker, Santos & De Oliveira, 1997).”
- The Impact of Overeducation and its Measurement (2006, unknown): “Firstly, in his meta-analysis of the literature, Rubb (2003) finds significant differences in returns to required, over- and undereducation between the different measures.”
- Discriminating between alternative measures of over-education (2006, background): “Third, Realized Matches (RM) measures look at the difference between the actual educational level and the mean (RMmn) or modal (RMml) level within a person’s occupation.1 Comparative research shows that results depend on the applied measure (Rubb, 2003; Verhaest and Omey, 2006b).”
- Cross-country differences in graduate overeducation (2013, background): “Several studies for the US (Sicherman, 1991; Robst, 1995a; Rubb, 2003) and for the Netherlands (Dekker et al., 2002; Groot and Maassen van den Brink, 2003; Groeneveld and Hartog, 2004) concluded that overeducation is rather a temporary problem for most workers.”
- Educational mismatch, wages, and wage growth: Overeducation in Sweden, 1974-2000 (2009, result): “The following results from cross-sectional wage regressions have been found in virtually all published studies, regardless of time and place (see Rubb 2003a for a recent overview): (a) the wage effects of both RE and OE are positive while the wage effect of UE is negative, and (b) the impact of RE…”
