劳动者对技能进行投资；教育带来溢价，既反映更高的生产率，也包含一定的信号传递；有些工作薪酬不同，是因为工作本身不同；而所测得的差距则把能力、选择和歧视混在一起。

5. The investment test
A one-year training program costs 20 thousand in fees and forgone earnings, and raises annual wages by 5 thousand forever after. At a discount factor of 0.9 per year, the wage stream's present value is 5 times 0.9 over 0.1, which is 45 thousand. Should the worker enroll?
6. Compensating differentials
Why do night-shift warehouse jobs pay more than identical day-shift work in the same warehouse?
7. The premium's present value
A certificate costs 8 thousand and raises annual wages by 2 thousand forever. Using a discount factor of 0.9, the stream is worth 2 times 0.9 over 0.1. Compute the present value of the gain in thousands, and write the number.
8. Schooling as investment
When is a one-year training program worth taking, in the human capital framework?
9. Why the night shift pays
Why do night-shift warehouse jobs pay more than identical day-shift work in the same warehouse?
10. The program's net present value
A training program costs 10 thousand dollars and raises wages by 3 thousand per year forever. Using a discount factor of 0.8, so the present value of the gains is 3 times 0.8 over 1 minus 0.8, compute the net present value in thousands, and write the number.
