We invoke some simple arguments regarding schooling, human capital theory and signalling from the economics of human resources to theoretically inform our analysis. The results indicate that there are large salary returns to academic performance and mild returns to prior work experience when the entire sample is studied. However, when the functions are run separately for the domestic and international sector, we find that only academic performance is significant in the domestic sector whereas only prior work experience is significant in the international sector. We interpret the latter result as approximating a `perfectly separating signalling equilibrium' process. - Reproduced Management education Management Karve, Amol Krishna, Karthik Economic and Political Weekly 50716 50716 50716 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 36, Issue no: 46-47 AR51144 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
