Abstract
Several papers have suggested that the relationship between changes in aver age schooling and growth is weak in the cross-country data. This might call into question the relevance of micro estimates of returns to schooling, at least for developing countries. This paper examines the reliability of som e of the aggregate evidence, and presents an alternative framework for anal ysing these questions. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V, All rights reserved.
