The Measurement of Change in the Rate of Return to Education: 1967-75.

Cline, Harold Michael

Economics of Education Review, v2 n3 p275-93 Sum 1982

Use of longitudinal data to control for changing composition of educational groups improves measurement of changes in rates of return to postsecondary education. When individual worker differences are controlled for, return rates show no change from 1967-75, despite observed changes in wage ratios between college and high school graduates. (PGD)
