The results show that individual and social rates of return of the PhD course. The coefficient in the standard Mincer equation is negative. This survey indicates the cost-opportunity that individual and society pays for the PhD course is much higher than the expected benefits, and it means that the policy makers in the government have to deal with it when the higher education training course is the issue.
