This two-volume set answers a pair of important questions. Volume 3 asks "How does education affect economic and social outcomes, and how can it inform public policy?"

Reflecting government demands for more evidence-based policies, they take new looks at institutional features of school systems. Volume 4 considers "What is the value of an education?" School choice and school competition, educator incentives, the college premium, and other considerations help its contributors make sense of the investments and returns associated with education.Demonstrates how new methodologies are yielding fresh perspectives in education economicsReveals how education serves as an important determinant of economic and social outcomesPresents topics and authors whose data and conclusions attest to the globalization of research Uses rich data to study issues of high contemporary policy relevance
