Abstract
© 2016 Board of Trustees of the Bulletin of Economic Research and John Wiley & Sons Ltd Individual's expected wages exceed predicted market wages. Rational expectations imply the divergence should be zero. If individuals over-estimate the return from their attributes and view the paid-employment return distribution too favourably, then conditional on market wages, subsequent employment utility is likely to be low through disappointment.
