HANDBOOK OF THE ECONOMICS OF EDUCATION - VOL. 5

The volume of research into the economics of education has grown rapidly in recent years. In this comprehensive new Handbook, editors Eric Hanushek, Stephen Machin, and Ludger Woessmann assemble original contributions from leading researchers, addressing contemporary advances in the field. Each chapter illuminates major methodological and theoretical developments and directs the reader to productive new lines of research. As a result, these concise overviews of the existing literature offer an essential ‘jumpstart’ for both students and researchers alike. “The Handbooks of the Economics of Education provide valuable surveys of the state of art in many aspects of this thriving field. They offer students and professionals alike guidance on the literature.” - James J. Heckman, Henry Schultz Distinguished Service Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago and Nobel Laureate in Economics.
