The major focus of this study is on estimating the income-schooling relationship in the presence of an unobserved ability variable. The main results are the negligible ability coefficient and the substantial schooling coefficient in the earnings equation. The authors expect the ability coefficient to increase as the sample ages. On the whole, they feel that the results from the expectation data are better indicators of the eventual peak schooling and ability effects.
