Abstract
ABSTRACT We investigate whether the wage premium associated with higher education differs between e-learning and traditional face-to-face courses. Using Brazilian microdata, we collected information on more than 6,000 students, about half of whom earned their degrees exclusively through online/offline study. We then tracked their labour market trajectories before and after earning their bachelor’s degrees. We found that the market tends to pay better to people who earned their degrees through traditional means. However, our results suggest that this is not some sort of e-learning penalty. Rather, these lower wages are likely due to a prior disadvantage that most people who study online have.
