Discussion Paper
Educational opportunity and income inequality
Willen, Paul S.; Hendel, Igal; Shapiro, Joel (2004)
Affordable higher education is, and has been, a key element of social policy in the United States with broad bipartisan support. Financial aid has substantially increased the number of people who complete university?generally thought to be a good thing. We show, however, that making education more affordable can increase income inequality. The mechanism that drives our results is a combination of credit constraints and the ?signaling? role of education first explored by Spence (1973). When borrowing for education is difficult, lack of a college education could mean that one is either of low ...

Universities, innovation and economic growth, presentation at the Conference on Universities, Innovation and Economic Growth, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, November 17, 2006
Pianalto, Sandra (2006)
Economists at our Bank have concluded that differences in state income levels over the past 75 years can be explained mostly by two factors: innovation and education. In simple terms, those states that enhance their knowledge base are the ones that are likely to prosper in the future.

Measuring the effect of school choice on economic outcomes
Vermann, E. Katarina; Owyang, Michael T. (2012-10)
In measuring the returns to education, economists usually focus on the number of years of schooling. But many people would say that the quality of schooling matters, too, even at the high school level. Does the type of high school attended make a difference in future income?

Working Paper
Paying for performance: the education impacts of a community college scholarship program for low-income adults
Richburg-Hayes, Lashawn; Rouse, Cecilia Elena; Barrow, Lisa; Brock, Thomas (2009)
We evaluate educational outcomes from an experiment which randomly assigned performancebased scholarship eligibility to students on community college campuses. Scholarships were awarded in three payments each semester over the course of two semesters. Payments were tied to students meeting two conditions?enrolling at least half time and maintaining a ?C? or better semester grade point average. We find that the program increased the likelihood a student was enrolled at the program institutions in both the first and second semesters after random assignment and increased the total number of ...

Working Paper
Causality, causality, causality: the view of education inputs and outputs from economics
Rouse, Cecilia Elena; Barrow, Lisa (2005)
Educators and policy makers are increasingly intent on using scientifically-based evidence when making decisions about education policy. Thus, education research today must necessarily be focused on identifying the causal relationships between education inputs and student outcomes. In this paper we discuss methodologies for estimating the causal effect of resources on education outcomes; we also review what we believe to be the best evidence from economics on a few important inputs: spending, class size, teacher quality, the length of the school year, and technology. We conclude that while ...

Decomposing the education wage gap: everything but the kitchen sink
Shiferaw, Menbere; Hotchkiss, Julie L. (2011-07)
The authors use a multitude of data sources to provide a comprehensive, multidimensional decomposition of wages across both time and educational status. Their results confirm the importance of investments in and use of technology, which has been the focus of most of the previous literature. The authors also show that demand and supply factors played very different roles in the growing wage gaps of the 1980s and 1990s.
