Abstract We investigate the effect of English language proficiency on the wages of native full-time employees in Poland. Using a unique data set with information on over 600,000 survey respondents polled over the five-year period from 2013 to 2017, we employ an IV approach founded on a natural experiment - namely, the reform of foreign language instruction in Polish schools. Our preferred estimates indicate that monthly wages for those individuals with ‘good’ or ‘very good’ knowledge of English exceeded the wages of those with ‘no English’ (or those with just a conversational proficiency) by nearly 60% for men and more than 50% for women. The estimates are statistically significant for both genders, and suggest quantitatively relevant wage returns for proficiency in English.

工资恢复到波兰的英语水平

摘要 我们调查了英语语言能力对波兰本土全职员工工资的影响。使用一个独特的数据集,其中包含 2013 年至 2017 年五年期间接受调查的超过 600,000 名受访者的信息,我们采用了基于自然实验的 IV 方法 - 即波兰学校的外语教学改革。我们的首选估计表明,对于男性而言,“良好”或“非常好”英语知识的人的月工资比“不会英语”(或仅具有会话能力的人)的工资高出近 60%,并且超过50% 为女性。估计对两种性别都具有统计意义,并建议与英语熟练程度相关的工资回报。
