relative wage of overeducated workers is even worse off.

as the Verdugo -Verdugo model setup, first of all, we show that Taiwan’s
Higher Education expansion policy has sharply and significantly deteriorated
the wage of the overeducated workers most of them are high-educated
ones after controlling for industries. By controlling for the expansion policy
implementation, the results of extended Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition analysis
evidence that the wage premium between university and high-school/two-
year-college workers present a declining pattern over years. Most of all, an
implementation of the expansive Higher Education policy increases the total
numbers of university and high-educated graduates. However, the highly portion
of unexplained part of wage gap, indicating the low-educated workers still are
discriminated in the labor market significantly.
Key words: higher education expansion policy, mismatch of occupation and
education, overeducation, wage premium
