The authors aim to study the determinants and the wage effects of overeducationand overskilling among Italian pre-reform graduates in 2005. In the available data (AlmaLaureadata base). the former happens when the degree was not used to get the current job and thelatter when competences acquired are not used in the current job. Overeducation and overskillingpersist also 5 years after degree with shares equal to 11,4 and 8%. The fields of study morefrequently associated to overeducation and overskilling are degrees in arts, but also such degrees inscience as Geology and Biology. The quality of university education, the length of studies and thepost-degree training highly affect the probability of overeducation/overskilling. This suggests thatin the Italian case overeducation depends not only on low demand for skills, but also on a tertiaryeducation not adequately oriented towards building skills immediately exploitable on the labourmarket. The non-conditional wage penalty associated to overeducation fluctuates between 20and 25%, while the one associated to overskilling between 16 and 21%. Once controlling forthe observed characteristics of the graduates, the wage penalty falls down to 12% for overeducationand 7% for overskilling. The Heckit estimate with correction for sample selection biasinvolves an increase by slightly more than 1% of the wage penalty implying that, as hypothesizedin the job competition and the job assignment models, unemployed graduates are less skilled thanemployed ones and would therefore be more likely overeducated/overskilled if employed.
