What is the value of an education? Volume 4 of the Handbooks in
the Economics of Education combines recent data with new
methodologies to examine this and related questions from diverse
perspectives. School choice and school competition, educator
incentives, the college premium, and other considerations help make
sense of the investments and returns associated with education.
Volume editors Eric A. Hanushek (Stanford), Stephen Machin
(University College London) and Ludger Woessmann (Ifo Institute for
Economic Research, Munich) draw clear lines between newly emerging
research on the economics of education and prior work. In
conjunction with Volume 3, they measure our current understanding
of educational acquisition and its economic and social
effects.
