abstract: 'Using the Ensenada Cadastre, a unique database on Castilian households
|
||||
|
||||
circa 1750, this paper provides new evidence on the relationship between
|
||||
|
||||
human capital and male labor earnings in eighteenth-century Spain. Human
|
||||
|
||||
capital is proxied by individual indicators of basic skills (literacy
|
||||
|
||||
and numeracy) and of occupational skills. We employ a Mincerian
|
||||
|
||||
regression approach and find a positive and statistically significant
|
||||
|
||||
association between skills and average earnings. Although we cannot
|
||||
|
||||
reliably assess causality in the observed relationship, these findings
|
||||
|
||||
are robust to conditioning on household composition, job
|
||||
|
||||
characteristics, and place of residence. Nonetheless, further testing
|
||||
|
||||
indicates that the earnings gradient associated with literacy is driven
|
||||
|
||||
mainly by unobservable variables (e.g., ability, family background) that
|
||||
|
||||
explain both the worker''s acquisition of this skill and his earnings.
|
||||
|
||||
The estimated associations are stronger for urban than for rural workers
|
||||
|
||||
and are highly heterogeneous across activity sectors. Our analysis
|
||||
|
||||
reveals that workers with higher skills were not only better remunerated
|
||||
|
||||
in their main occupation but also more likely to diversify their
|
||||
|
||||
earnings through ``by-employment{''''}. Finally, quantile regression
|
||||
|
||||
analysis indicates that earnings disparities between workers with
|
||||
|
||||
different skills were much smaller at the lower than the upper end of
|
||||
|
||||
the earnings distribution. This evidence suggests that, in
|
||||
|
||||
pre-industrial Castile, human capital may have contributed to inequality
|
||||
|
||||
of earnings. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.'
