• The role of education in intergenerational social mobility: Problems from empirical research in sociology and some theoretical pointers from economics (2014, result): “…from the fact that movements in class and earnings returns need not be all that highly correlated, the SBTC argument seems unduly influenced by American experience, and a wider European perspective leads to far more qualified conclusions regarding earnings returns (see e.g. Harmon et al., 2001).”
• The Return to a University Education in Great Britain (2005, methodology): “Chevalier and Walker (2001), using General Household Survey data over the period 1980/2 to 1993/5, found that returns to men rose across all subjects until the late 1980s and then fell for all disciplines other than Arts/Humanities, where the returns in any event were never significantly different…”

• Three measures of returns to education: An illustration for the case of Spain (2008, background): “…the mean effect of a variation in the years of education on potential wages and is the partial effect on which the returns to education literature is focused (for reference, see Harmon et al., 2001). β2 measures the mean effect of a variation in the years of education on wages for the population…”
• Does education reduce wage inequality? Quantile regression evidence from 16 countries (2004, background): “9 See Asplund and Pereira (1999) and Harmon et al. (2001) for surveys of OLS returns to education across Europe, which were also prepared by the same network involved in the ‘‘PuRE’’ project. paper, is that returns to education are higher at higher points of the (conditional) wage…”
