| Summary: | This paper explores the topic of depreciation of human capital
as a possible explanation for observed trends in the returns
to education in the Russian Federation. Estimates of
depreciation are presented for various sample groups. Depreciation
first decreased and then increased in the period
1994-2018. University educated workers add human capital
even after they stop full-time studies; this happens less
with vocational graduates. |
