Modern Classics in the Economics of Education (International Library of Critical Writings in Economics)

For this collection, Clive Belfield has selected the most significant recently published articles on the economics of education. Contemporary in the best sense, the articles analyse current concerns, building on what has been established to date and foreshadowing future developments. The articles address important questions, such as the microeconomic outcomes of education, whether education promotes economic growth, and how education systems should be organized in order to meet efficiency and equity goals.
