• A new global policy regime founded on invalid statistics? Hanushek, Woessmann, PISA, and economic growth (2017, methodology): “Furthermore, all three (Ramirez et al. 2006; H&W 2015a; Kamens 2015) failed to present scatter diagrams showing the relationship between test scores in a given period and economic growth in a subsequent period thus preventing readers from gauging rough R2 values for the relationships examined in…”
• Do better schools lead to more growth? Cognitive skills, economic outcomes, and causation (2012, unknown): “As we write it, it can be consistent with both basic endogenous growth models such as Lucas (1988), Romer (1990), and Aghion and Howitt (1998) and neoclassical growth models such as Mankiw et al.”
• The Economics of International Differences in Educational Achievement (2010, unknown): “(2003) and Rouse and Barrow (2009)).”
• Generic and Specific Skills as Components of Human Capital: New Challenges for Education Theory and Practice (2019, result): “John Meyer, Francisco Ramirez, and their colleagues concluded that there was a nonsignificant correlation between test scores and national economic growth, but even that was only evident when rapidly growing Asian countries were included in the study [Ramirez et al., 2006].”
