Which of the following is / are the key concepts of ‘Signalling’ Theory
a. Credential, not human capital
b. Information Asymmetry
c. Education is a signal
d. Innate Productivity
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Signalling theory explains how educational credentials convey information about a person's likely productivity to employers. Information asymmetry makes such signals useful, because employers cannot directly observe every applicant's underlying ability. Education can therefore indicate innate productivity without its signalling role depending on the creation of additional human capital.
