Table 1 reports average monthly earnings and employment probability 3 years after graduation by
gender and field of study. Monthly earnings in 2007 are in euros and net of taxes and social security
contributions. The average earnings are 1299 and 1081 euros per month for the male and the female
sub sample, respectively. The average employment probability 3 years after graduation is 0.72 and
0.63 for male and female candidates, respectively.
In the empirical analysis of Section 2, we estimate the earnings equation for male and female
samples.
2 - Earnings Equations
The following earnings equation was estimated for full-time employees:
ln(w ) = α + β1 edperf + β'2E + β'3X+ β'4 Z + ε
