The Importance of School Systems: Evidence from International Differences in Student Achievement (2016, background): “…items are aligned to the US school curriculum (which may limit international comparability), a number of regional tests in Latin America and SubSaharan Africa, and adult literacy tests (see Hanushek and Woessmann (2011a), Table 2; Hanushek and Woessmann (2015b), chapter 4; Hanushek et al. (2015)).”
The economic impacts of learning losses (2020, methodology): “For the general methodology, see (OECD, Hanushek and Woessmann, 2015[14]) and the specifics in Appendix B. 12 These estimates and much of the discussion of overall costs apply most directly to the more developed countries where school attendance is close to universal.”
Coping with Change: International Differences in the Returns to Skills (2017, unknown): “…in our model, but leaves all other qualitative results unchanged.12 Third, results are robust to using alternative periods over which to measure prior 12 Hanushek et al. (2015) also showed that returns to skills are not systematically related to product-market regulations and minimum wages.”
A new global policy regime founded on invalid statistics? Hanushek, Woessmann, PISA, and economic growth (2017, methodology): “We also examined four reviews/responses to H&W’s work outside the field of comparative education (Lindahl 2015; Pritchett 2015; Tucker 2015; Franz 2016).”
Will more higher education improve economic growth (2016, unknown): “This approach to modelling growth as a function of international assessments of skill differences was introduced in Hanushek and Kimko (2000) and has been extended in Hanushek and Woessmann (2007, 2015).”
Styles of Scientific Reasoning: A Cultural Rationale for Science Education? (2017, background): “In contemporary society, such arguments have become even more pre-eminent (Economist, 2014; Gilbert, 2005; Hanushek & Woessmann, 2015; Hill, 2008; National Research Council, 2008, 2012a).”
The economic case for education† (2016, methodology): “See Hanushek et al. (2015) for details.”
Education production functions (2020, background): “This is reinforced and extended in Hanushek and Woessmann (2012, 2015), who show that three-quarters of the variation in country growth rates can be explained by a simple growth model that focuses on cognitive skills.”
The long-run impact of human capital on innovation and economic development in the regions of Europe (2018, background): “However, Hanushek and Woessmann (2015) argue that the appropriate measurement of human capital is not the length of studies, but what is learnt at school or university.”
What Do Teachers Know and Do? Does it Matter? Evidence from Primary Schools in Africa (2017, background): “In the last decade, the major International Association for the Evaluation of Education Achievement (IEA) and OECD testing programs have expanded dramatically, with more than 100 participating countries in at least one of these assessments in 2012 (Hanushek and Woessmann 2015).”
