The Causal Effect of Schooling : empirical Evidence from Germany

This paper analysis the robustness of the causal relationship between schooling and wages. Different estimators and instruments are compared under the assumption of heterogeneous returns to schooling. A data set from Germany is employed. It is shown that the results depend crucially on the choice of instruments and not so much on the applied estimator.
