Abstract
This study estimates the rate of returns to education (RORE) in Bangladesh at the individual level. Adopting the Mincer earningsfitnction, the study attempts to obtain robust and unbiased estimates of RORE by applying both IV 2SLS and Heckman two step procedures.

Significant selection and endogeneity bias exists in the OLS estimation. Results indicate RORE is considerably low in Bangladesh.
