Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to relate the empirical attempt of measur ing output from the education sector to theoretical results about the welfa re significance of an extended net national product (NNP) measure. We show that economic theory provides a more focused way of interpreting such outpu t estimates, which has not been recognized in previous studies. The paper a lso contains new estimates of the output from the Swedish education sector.
