Table of ContentsReviewsThe chapters in this book explore both broadly and in depth some of the hot topics in education within the field of economics, and with a focus on how these may have an impact on future US growth. The macroeconomic literature on the sources of growth has acknowledged the importance of human capital in the generation of growth, with a shift in focus to study mechanisms of that growth accumulation. This is studied mostly in the microeconomic literature on education and human capital formation. Different from other existing works, the authors in this book study in detail different aspects of skill supply and demand at the microeconomic level, but, more importantly, they draw out the implications for the future of macroeconomic growth. While there are many topics that are yet to be explored, this book constitutes a good spring-board for economists of education to continue their discussions. -- Economic Record Author InformationCharles R.
