Title: Returns to Education in the Russian Federation: How can analysis support policy?

This working paper investigates the returns to education in the Russian Federation. It uses regionally representative household survey data to determine the rates of return to education in different regions. Returns show a wide dispersion together with the labor market context. The paper’s policy recommendations would be particularly helpful to support human capital development of federally targeted economically and socially depressed regions. Joint paper with Ekaterina Melianova (World Bank) and Artem Volgin (World Bank).
