Abstract | According to Human Capital Theory, educational level should be rewarded by the labor market. The present study explores whether this is also true for completed doctorates by analyzing the relationship between this measure of academic success and income. Results suggest that there is no general effect, though our prediction is confirmed for the self-employed. We discuss this result with respect to the specific sample analyzed (former scholarship holders), labor market regulation issues and from both a human capital and a signaling perspective of educational credentials.
