Overeducation in Spain. Persistent or Transitory Phenomenon? Evidence from the MCVL 2009-2017, April 2019

Overeducation, deﬁned as having more schooling than what is necessary for the job, is a labor market phenomenon that has special incidence in Spain. In principle, overeducation needs not to be a problem if it is transitory but when it becomes persistent it can have several negative eﬀects in the economy. This paper investigates the persistence of overeducation by exploiting data from the Spain’s Continuous Sample of Working Lives (Muestra Continua de Vidas Laborales or MCVL, in Spanish) by applying duration models. Controlling for observable characteristics, we ﬁnd evidence for the hypothesis that overeducation is indeed a persistent phenomenon in Spain.
