Evaluating the effect of education on earnings: models, methods and results from the National Child Development Survey (2005, methodology): “Dearden (1999a, b) and Blundell et al. (2000) both used the British NCDS cohort data, although not focusing on a systematic analysis of the type that is discussed in this paper.”
On the Benefits of Concurrent Lending and Underwriting (2005, methodology): “McMillen and McDonald (2002) apply the method to study land valuation in a newly zoned city, while Dearden, Ferri, and Meghir (2002) and Blundell et al. (2000) use the matching methods to study the effect of education on wages.”
Evaluating the impact of education on earnings in the UK: models, methods and results from the NCDS (2003, unknown): “Dearden (1999a and b) and Blundell et al. (2000) both use the British NCDS cohort data.”
Funding Higher Education in the UK: The Role of Fees and Loans (2003, unknown): “Bynner and Egerton’s (2000) findings point to a clear link between higher education and participation in community affairs, democratic processes, egalitarian attitudes, parenting and voluntary work. Moreover, they report that these links hold even after one adjusts for other potential causal factors”
The Relative Effect of Family Characteristics and Financial Situation on Educational Achievement (2002, methodology): “We use years of education rather than qualifications (as in Blundell et al., 2000) since we are not interested in returns to education but in the effect of an EMA on educational investment, whatever this investment consists of.”
Some Evidence that Women are More Mobile than Men: Gender Differences in U.K. Graduate Migration Behavior (2007, unknown): “Indeed, there is a large body of evidence across a range of social science disciplines (Blundell et al., 2000; Lissenburgh, 2000; Anderson et al., 2001; Grimshaw and Rubery, 2001) which suggests that women are systematically discriminated against within the labor market.”
The economic returns to field of study and competencies among higher education graduates in Ireland (2010, background): “…(see Daymont & Andrisani (1984), James et al. (1989), Dolton & Malepeace (1990), Grubb (1992), Altonji (1993), Rumberger & Thomas (1993), Grogger & Eide (1995), Blundell et al. (2000), Finnie & Frenette (2003), McGuinness (2003), Walker & Zhu (2003), Arcidiacono (2004), O’Leary & Sloane (2005)).”
An analysis of ethnic differences in UK graduate migration behaviour (2006, background): “Indeed, there is a large body of evidence across a range of social science disciplines (Lissenburgh 2000; Blundell et al. 2000; Desai et al. 1999) which suggests that women are systematically discriminated against within the labour market.”
The Return to a University Education in Great Britain (2005, methodology): “Blundell et al. (2000), using National Child Development Study data, found that males had returns which were particularly lower in Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Sciences and Geography than the base group (no information available), while for women the pattern was rather different, with higher…”
Overqualification, Job Dissatisfaction, and Increasing Dispersion in the Returns to Graduate Education (2010, background): “investment, having an estimated annual private return of between 11% and 14%; see also Blundell et al. (2000) .”
The representation and attainment of students with dyslexia in UK higher education (2003, background): “It is associated with access to better-paid occupations, and so the underrepresentation of students with dyslexia has a direct cost to the individual and an indirect cost to the economy (Belfield et al., 1997; Blundell, Dearden, Goodman & Reed, 1997, 2000; Steel & Sausman, 1997).”
Strategy for Modelling Nonrandom Missing Data Mechanisms in Observational Studies Using Bayesian Methods (2012, background): “In line with the literature (Blundell et al. 2000; Zhan and Pandey 2004), we expect that higher pay is related to having a degree.”
Higher Education Funding (2004, background): “In contrast, there is much firmer evidence of the substantial private returns from a degree (e.g. Blundell et al. 2000).”
The transition from vocational education and training to higher education: a successful pathway? (2008, background): “Research is unambiguous about the fact that there are different wage premia connected with degrees in different subjects (however, studies vary slightly in their estimates of wage premia; see Blundell et al. 2000; Universities UK and PriceWaterhouseCoopers 2007; Walker and Zhu 2001).”
