The Failure of Input-Based Schooling Policies (2003, background): “…Grogger and Eide (1993), Blackburn and Neumark (1993, 1995), Murnane, Willett, and Levy (1995), Neal and Johnson (1996), Murnane et al. (2000), and Murnane et al. (2001) each find that the earnings advantages to higher achievement on standardized tests are quite substantial.2 1 While human…”
Low quality education as a poverty trap (2011, background): “…market prospects Internationally, attempts to account for the quality of education in earnings functions have suggested that quality of education may be more important for an individual’s earning capacity than the number of years of education (Murnane et al, 2001; Hanushek and Woessman, 2007).”
The lifetime earnings premia of different majors: Correcting for selection based on cognitive, noncognitive, and unobserved factors (2014, methodology): “While it is less commonly used than the Rotter Scale, it is also seen as a viable measure of noncognitive abilities in the education and labor literatures (Murnane et al., 2001; Heckman et al., 2006).”
