Handbook of the Economics of Education. Volume 6

"This latest installment of this highly influetial handbook series continues the successes of the first five volumes. The chapters, written by some of the world's leading experts on the subjects at hand, present both theoretical and empirical literatures from a global perspective. Covering topics from preschool through higher education -- from early child development to school choice to teacher quality measures to college access to returns to higher education -- this volume is a "must read" for scholars and practitioners alike who seek to be up to date on some of the most important education issues of our day." David figlio, Provost and Gordon Fyfe Professor of Economics and Education, University of Rochester.
