abstract: 'In this paper, we estimate wage returns to investment in education for
persons with disabilities in Nepal, using information on the timing of
being impaired during school-age years as identifying instrumental
variables for years of schooling. We employ unique data collected from
persons with hearing, physical, and visual impairments as well as
nationally representative survey data from the Nepal Living Standard
Survey 2003/2004 (NLSS II). After controlling for endogeneity bias
arising from schooling decisions as well as sample selection bias due to
endogenous labor participation, the estimated rate of returns to
education is very high among persons with disabilities, ranging from
19.3 to 25.6\%. The coexistence of these high returns to education and
limited years of schooling suggest that supply side constraints in
education to accommodate persons with disabilities and/or there are
credit market imperfections. Policies to eliminate these barriers will
mitigate poverty among persons with disabilities, the largest minority
group in the world. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.'
