The decline of schooling productivity in OECD countries

Gundlach, Erich; Wößmann, Ludger; Gmelin, Jens - 2000

Based on Baumol’s cost-disease model, we develop two alternative measures of the change in the productivity of schooling. Both productivity measures are based on changes in the relative price of schooling. We find that in most OECD countries the price of schooling has increased faster in...
