The Effects of Military Occupational Training on Civilian Earnings: An Income Selectivity Approach.

Abstract

There have been several studies on the returns to military occupational training. For examples of these studies see Cutright (19730, Jurkowitz (19690, Massell and Nelson (1974), Giesecke (1975), and Norrblom (1976). In these studies, the returns to military training are measured by the earnings differences between veterans who take civilian-related jobs (i.e., civilian jobs which are related to their military jobs) and similar veterans who take unrelated jobs. The usual procedure in these studies is to estimate dummy variable regression equations where earnings are regressed on several explanatory variables and a dummy variable which takes a value of 1 for veterans in related jobs and 0 for others.
