Produktbeschreibung
This book addresses the effects of study abroad and
personality on earnings and employment. In the
second chapter, a hazard model measures the effects
of study abroad, extra-curricular activities, and
college grades on the transition from college to
work for recent graduates of a Mexican university: I
find that study abroad is associated with lower
employment hazard rates and higher starting wages.
The third chapter examines the long-term impact of
study abroad on the earnings of Mexican
professionals, concluding that completion of a
graduate degree abroad contributes significantly to
earnings, beyond the language benefits of study
abroad. In the fourth chapter, I show that self-
assessments and supervisor evaluations of an
employee s personality differ and may have distinct
coefficients in estimated regressions of earnings
and occupation.
