dc.description.abstract | Data from nine transition economies in Central and Eastern Europe are used to examine therole of computer adoption for returns to education. As in western economies, computers areadopted most heavily by young, educated, English-speaking workers with the best access tolocal telecommunications infrastructures. These same attributes have been associated withrising relative earnings in transition economies. Controlling for likely simultaneity betweencomputer use and labor market earnings, we find much larger returns to individuals fromcomputer adoption than have been found in established market economies. The large returnsare explainable by the high cost of adoption and the scarcity of computer skills. As of 2000,only 14% had ever tried a computer. Consequently, despite much larger individual returns,computers are associated with an 8% increase in average incomes in the nine countries. | en |
