Title Effects of Cognitive and Non-cognitive Skills on Earning Outcomes: A Case of Khonkaen Province of Thailand
 
Creator Hong-ngam, Jongrak
 
Description From the well-known Mincer equation explained years of schooling andpotential training periods as main sources for earnings differential, this study furtheranalyzes another explanation of earnings in terminology of non-cognitive skills.Difference in wages in different occupations and genders could be explained bynon-cognitive traits. Signifi cant non-cognitive variables are 1. locus of control 2. self-esteem 3. big fi ve personalities and 4. confl ict management. After adding a non-cognitive skill called “Locus of Control” into the model and comparing without it, the coeffi cientsdeclined when adding a non-cognitive skill. Unlike cognitive skills, adding non-cognitive measures to the model greatly reduces the explanation by cognitiveskills (years of schooling), experience year, and training hour.
