TI  - Education Mismatches in the Labor Markets and Their Impact on Wages across Sectors: Evidence from Turkey
AB  - The incidence of mismatch and its pay effects vary not only across countries but also acrosssectors due to different institutional arrangements. The first aim of the paper is to estimate educationmismatches in the Turkish labor market. Our second aim is to distinguish the impact of educationmismatches on wages in public and private sectors. The results of the analysis show returns onovereducation are lower than required education in both sectors similar to many other countryexamples. Moreover, we also show that wage differences between overeducation and requirededucation are smaller in the private sector, and through Oaxaca decomposition method most of it canbe explained by endowments. Lastly, the effect of undereducation on wages differs across sectors andwe conclude that human capital model is not applicable to Turkish public sector.
