This paper estimates the causal effect of one year of university education on wages and employment. Stanislav finds no adverse effect of a one–year reduction on wages and on the probability of being employed. This suggests that the reform lowered the opportunity costs of education but did not affect the accumulation of specific skills relevant for the labour market.

Congratulations!
