AbstractWe investigate the role of education on worker productivity and firms’ total factor productivity using a panel of firm level data from China. We estimate the returns to education by calculating the marginal productivity of workers of different education levels based on estimates of the firm-level production function. We also estimate how the education level of workers and CEO contributes to firms’ total factor productivity. Estimated marginal products are much higher than wages, and the gap is larger for highly educated workers. Our estimate shows that an additional year of schooling raises marginal product by 30.1 percent, and that CEO's education increases TFP for foreign invested firms. Estimates vary substantially across ownership classes, the effect of schooling on productivity being highest in foreign-invested firms. We infer that market mechanisms contribute to a more efficient use of human capital within firms.

结论是成立的，但这背后的话题说来话长了。从微观角度，作者可能都不一定完全了解。。。

同意。。。。

我的导师只是研究宏观角度的
