The Effects of Education Quality on Income Growth and Mortality Decline (2006, unknown): “This finding is also consistent with recent discussions of education and growth that emphasize the importance of complementary institutions (Easterly, 2001; Pritchett, 2006).”
The economic case for education† (2016, background): “For extensive reviews of the literature, see, for example, Topel (1999), Temple (2001), Krueger and Lindahl (2001), Sianesi and Van Reenen (2003), and Pritchett (2006).”
Schooling, educational achievement, and the Latin American growth puzzle (2012, background): “…in the literature that performance on years of schooling data is largely inconsistent with growth performance (Bils and Klenow, 2000; Easterly, 2001; Pritchett, 2001, 2006), suggesting that considering acquired skills rather than time in school provides an explanation for this inconsistency.”
Education, knowledge capital, and economic growth (2020, background): “Pritchett (2001, 2006) raises questions about the plausibility of simple growth models with years of schooling and stresses that it is important for economic growth to get other things right as well, in particular the institutional framework of the economy.”

Externalities and Growth (2004, unknown): “Pritchett (2004), who considers many different parameterizations of the human capital accumulation technology, likewise finds that human capital does not account for much cross-country variation in growth rates.”
