Jacob Mincer was a Polish-American economist and a founder of modern labor economics and the 'human capital' school, whose Mincer earnings equation — relating wages to schooling and experience — is one of the most estimated relationships in social science. A Jewish Holocaust survivor who endured Nazi labor camps before emigrating, he taught for decades at Columbia University. His work made education and on-the-job training central to how economists explain earnings and inequality.
