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
