Description

This paper targets high- and low-ranking universities and measures the expected rate of return to each university education based on the information on the firms where all graduates work. The expected rate of return to university education of the relevant university is calculated based on the average, and while paying attention to their diversification, whether or not there is an economic effect of university education and possibility of failure of its investments are clarified. The following results were obtained. (1) The economic effect of investment was confirmed to be greater at the case university with higher rank than at the case university with lower rank. (2) The existence of a certain economic effect of university education has been clarified even in the university with low rank, which has not been clarified in previous studies. (3) Focusing on the dispersion of the economic effect of the university education investment, there are no cases of investment failure at the university with high rank, but such cases at the university with low rank. (4) It became clear that there are a certain number of cases where even graduates of the university with low rank can obtain expected rates of return that exceed the average value of graduates of the university with high rank.
