• The economic impacts of learning losses (2020, positive): “…the attention on learning loss, the analysis here focuses on the impact of greater cognitive skills as measured by standard tests on a student’s future labour-market opportunities (Hanushek and Woessmann, 2008[7]).4 As noted, however, there is no direct evidence of the typical loss of achievement.”
• The role of human capital and innovation in economic development: evidence from post-Malthusian Prussia (2017, neutral): “(2006, 2007), Labuske and Streb (2008), Degner (2009), Richter and Streb (2011), Lehmann-Hasemeyer and Streb (2016).”
• Broadband Infrastructure and Economic Growth (2011, background): “For a discussion of empirical evidence on the effects of levels of and growth in years of schooling, see Hanushek and Woessmann (2008) .”
• Quality‐Consistent Estimates of International Schooling and Skill Gradients (2009, background): “This interpretation, for example, underlies the extensive international comparisons (Psacharopoulos 1994; Harmon et al. 2003; Psacharopoulos and Patrinos 2004).”
• What Works to Improve the Quality of Student Learning in Developing Countries (2015, background): “Hanushek and Woessmann (2008, 2012), Hanushek et al. (2010), Jamison et al. (2007), Laurini and Andrade (2012), and UNESCO (2011), among others, show that cognitive skills are more strongly associated with increases in earnings and development outcomes than schooling attainment.”
• Training and Innovation (2009, background): “Hanushek and Woessmann (2008) analyze a large variety of countries and find a positive relation between long-term growth and the quality of secondary schooling.”
