Resumen:
We use recent unconditional quantile regression methods (UQR) to study the
distributive effects of education in Argentina. Standard methods usually focus
on mean effects, or explore distributive effects by either making stringent
modeling assumptions, and/or through counter- factual decompositions
that require several temporal observations. An empirical case shows the
flexibility and usefulness of UQR methods. Our application for the case of
Argentina shows that education contributed positively to increased inequality
in Argentina, mostly due to the effect of strongly heterogeneous effects of
education on earnings.
