Human capital in growth regressions: how much difference does data quality make? An update and further results (2002, neutral): “Two of the datasets most widely used in cross-country empirical work, those by Kyriacou (1991) and Barro and Lee (various years), perform relatively well when the data are used in levels but, as Krueger and Lindhal (2001) note, contain very little signal when the data are differenced.”
Exploiting States’ Mistakes to Identify the Causal Impact of Higher Education on Growth (2005, background): “However, none of these papers, nor the subsequent contribution by Krueger and Lindahl (2001), distinguish as we do between types of education spending and consider the interplay between the composition of education spending and the country s distance from the technology frontier.”
Education and Italian regional development (2008, neutral): “Krueger and Lindahl (2000) argue that a positive and significant coefficient on the level of human capital may result from incorrectly imposing a single coefficient and thus equal returns on schooling among different countries.”
The impact of the Bolsa Escola/Familia conditional cash transfer program on enrollment, dropout rates and grade promotion in Brazil (2012, background): “…Introduction Many economists agree that higher levels of education increase economic growth (Barro, 1991; Mankiw, Romer and Weil, 1992; Hanushek and Kimko, 2000; Krueger and Lindahl, 2001; Sala-i-Martin, 2004; Hanushek and Woessmann, 2008), raising incomes and, more generally, the quality of life.”
Migration, diversity, and economic growth (2017, background): “Krueger and Lindahl (2001) uncover a positive and significant effect of education on subsequent growth only for less-developed countries, those with the lowest level of education.”
Investment in Primary, Secondary, and Higher Education and the Effects on Economic Growth (2006, positive): “Similar to McMahon (2000), this estimates changes over time in a dynamic framework with greater policy relevance than longer-term effects, which are expected to have even higher significance to growth.”
A New Data Set of Educational Attainment in the World, 1950-2010 (2013, positive): “As used by Krueger and Lindahl (2001), the reliability ratio gauges the fraction of the variability of a (unobserved) true variable in the total variability of the variable measured with error.”
Growth and human capital: good data, good results (2007, methodology): “Krueger and Lindahl (2001) have already stressed the low correlation between the series of schooling in first differences.”
