Wage and Test Score Dispersion: Some International Evidence.
Bedard, Kelly; Ferrall, Christopher
Economics of Education Review, v22 n1 p31-43 Feb 2003
Compares the distribution of test scores at age 13 in 1964 and 1982 and wages later in life across 11 countries. Finds that wage dispersion later in life is never greater than test-score dispersion. For three countries (U.S., UK, and Japan), finds evidence of skill-biased changes in wage dispersion between the early 1970s and the late 1980s. (Contains 23 references.) (Author/PKP)
