The Returns to Education in China: Evidence from the 1986 Compulsory Education Law (2012, unknown): “Based on panel data from 200 large rural enterprises in ten provinces, Fleisher and Wang (2004) attribute the low private returns to education in China in the mid-1990s to restrictions on worker mobility along with unexploited economies of scale in production among rural enterprises.”
Estimating returns to education using twins in urban China (2012, result): “Thus, our findings support the argument of Heckman and Li (2004) and Fleisher and Wang (2004) that investing in human capital is worthwhile in China.”
Human capital and income inequality* (2018, background): “From the late 1980s to the mid-2010s, it increased from 0.34 to 0.51 in the PRC, from 0.38 to 0.45 in Indonesia, and from 0.28 to 0.31 in the Republic of Korea.”
Partially awakened giants : uneven growth in China and India (2006, unknown): “At the outset of that period, urban China had a system of fixed wage scales, allocation of labor by government and (hence) low returns to schooling (Fleisher and Wang, 2004).”
Monopsony in Labor Markets: A Meta-Analysis (2020, unknown): “Finally, some researchers employed techniques that impose more structure, for example, Fleisher and Wang (2004), Ogloblin and Brock (2005), Naidu, Nyarko, and Wang (2016), and Dobbelaere and Mairesse (2013).”
