Human Capital Investment -
The process of increasing the household’s holdings of human wealth either by engaging in
formal or informal training or by adding
household members.

program sharing your life with a partner having a child reading the newspaper

Theory of Human Capital Investment
People are investing in human capital by going to school. The returns (or benefits) of this human capital investment include
higher earnings lower probability of unemployment
The costs include foregone earnings while in school and out-of-pocket costs of education
Brighter individuals get more education because they are more likely to see that the marginal benefits exceed the marginal costs.

Investment in Education What are the differences in earnings by
educational attainment? Holding years of education constant, why
do earnings vary by occupation? gender? race?

If Omaha, Nebraska has an index number of 93.3 and Chicago has an index number of 123, a person moving from Omaha making $30,000 annually would need to make $39,550 in Chicago to be making the same real salary: 123 x $30,000 93.3 = $39,550

Tax-Equivalent Employee Benefits
21
Value of the benefit this formula calculates the tax-equivalent value of a (1-Tax Rate) non-taxable benefit.
Example:Receiving a $350 tax free benefit is worth $486 of taxable benefits if you are in the 28 percent tax bracket, calculated as follows:
$350 = $350 1-.28 .72 =$486
A variation of this formula would give the after-tax value of a taxable benefit:
Taxable value of the benefit x (1-Tax Rate)
Using the above example,
$486 (1-.28) = $486 (.72) = $350

The Return on Educational Investments has Grown Over
Time
Earnings of BA/BS recipients have grown more than inflation over the last 30+ years, with advanced degree holders capturing the largest return
Earnings of high school graduates have lost ground relative to inflation.
The typical bachelor’s degree recipient can expect to earn 73% more over a 40 year working life than the typical high school graduate (http://tsp.convio.net/site/PageServer?pagename=education_pays)
By the age of about 33, the typical college graduate has earned enough to compensate for both paying full tuition and fee charges at the average public four-year college and foregone earnings with a high school degree (http://tsp.convio.net/site/PageServer?pagename=education_pays)

What are the costs? (2011 #s)University of
Utah
Tuition & fees for 2 semesters
$7,768
Books $1,800
Foregone Earnings (2010 HS degree – men, $626 x 52)
$32,552
Total Costs $42,120
29
Cost-Benefit Assessment...
Do the marginal benefits of education outweigh the marginal costs at the University of Utah? Compute the present value of the annuity (PVA) for both the marginal costs and
marginal benefits and compare: For the costs, use n = 5, r = 10%, FV = $42,120 For the benefits, use n=40, r = 3%, FV = $21,424 (($1,038 - 626) x 52)
Marginal Costs: PVA = $257,143
Marginal Benefits: PVA = $1,615,391
30
Cost-Benefit Assessment...
In this instance, the benefits are clearly greater than the costs, but this may be an underestimate of the actual net benefits… Why? May understate income growth more than college costs
because of the difference in the time horizon. Does not factor in the value of the retirement benefits that
are likely to accrue because of a better job. Does not factor in other fringe benefits that are typically
associated with a better job (e.g., health insurance, disability insurance, child care subsidies).
31
Are Gains in Earnings and Related Financial Factors the Only Benefits of a College
Education?
Other benefits that accrue to the individual or household… greater efficiency in household production activities
(e.g., shopping behavior, family finances, child development)
greater non-pecuniary benefits of employment (e.g., occupations where you set your own hours, work at home, do more challenging tasks, reduce health risks)
better relationships in general; especially better marriage rltnshps
32
Are Gains in Earnings the Only Benefits of a College Education?
Other benefits that accrue to society (i.e., social benefits) more informed voters and more likely to participate
in the political process additional earnings raise the tax base less likely to engage in illegal activities
33
If education is such a good investment, why doesn’t everyone get a Ph.D.?
Situations where the opportunity costs are exceptionally high.
Situations where the out-of-pocket costs are prohibitively high (e.g., low-income households).
Situations where other, non-pecuniary costs are quite high (e.g., time needed to study).
Situations where the marginal benefits are exceptionally low.
34
Why do earnings vary by occupation, controlling for years of education?
Cost-Benefit Differentials Recognition of differential educational investment (e.g.,
acquiring economic knowledge may be easier than acquiring chemistry knowledge)
Recognition that some occupations confer enjoyment above and beyond salary while others do not.
Recognition that there may be risks to the employee that one needs to compensate for (e.g., health considerations
Recognition that some jobs require more hours of work than others.
Recognition of differentials in on-the-job training.
