Review of Education Matters
نویسنده
چکیده
Education Matters is a collection of essays on the economics of education by Alan Krueger, the Bendheim Professor of Economics and Public Affairs at Princeton University. The introduction provides an overview of the 15 previously published papers contained in the book, and discusses how these papers evolved in the context of the literature. My comments focus almost exclusively on the six papers in sections II and III of the book. These sections deal with the relationship between school resources and student outcomes. I assume that these materials are of particular interest to readers of Education Next.
