Why Major in Economics?
The answer from a Goldin and Katz analysis of Harvard graduates:
The most lucrative college major is economics, which has an earnings premium of 0.33 log points and a premium of 0.19 including occupation controls.
Esta informaicón la obtiene del paper al que hace referencia. Lo que no señala es que ese mismo trabajo señala que
The highest earnings by occupation
are garnered by those in finance, for which
the earnings premium relative to all other occupations
is an astounding 1.08 log points, or 195
percent
Realmente se lo merecen? Estarán correctamente alineados los incentivos o habría que modificarlos?
