We use longitudinal panel data from the EU‐SILC for the period 2005–2011 to examine the micro and macro determinants, persistence and dynamics of over‐education. The key contribution in terms of the determinants of over‐education is the inclusion of macro‐level explanatory variables to control for both aggregate supply and aggregate demand labor market conditions. Their effects are found to be strongly significant and to have the expected sign. The article also disentangles the effect of past over‐education experience on the likelihood of current over‐education. Results demonstrate that over‐education is not only a long‐run phenomenon for many workers but also that current over‐education is largely due to past circumstances of the individual with this state dependence present at all career stages.

塞浦路斯的教育过度：微观和宏观因素，持久性和国家依赖性。动态面板分析

我们使用2005-2011年间EU-SILC的纵向面板数据来研究微观和宏观决定因素，过度教育的持久性和动态。就教育过度的决定因素而言，关键的贡献在于包括了宏观解释变量，以控制总供给和总需求劳动力市场状况。发现它们的作用非常显着并且具有预期的征兆。本文还阐明了过去的过度教育经验对当前过度教育的可能性的影响。结果表明，过度教育不仅是许多工人的长期现象，而且当前的过度教育很大程度上是由于个人的过往情况，在所有职业阶段都存在这种国家依赖性。
