Education and Income Growth: Implications for Cross-Country Inequality
分解国民收入为教育水平、教育回报和残差三部分，分析人力资本趋同能否解释跨国收入不平等的变化。发现发达国家教育趋同降低了收入差距，但全球范围内收入反而分化。
This paper examines the extent to which patterns of human capital convergence can account for observed patterns of income inequality between countries. The author decomposes national income into three components: one due to education levels, one reflecting the return to education, and a residual component. He then examines the contribution of each to changes in income dispersion. Among the developed countries, convergence in education levels has resulted in a reduction in income dispersion. However, for the world as a whole, incomes have diverged despite substantial convergence in education levels. Copyright 1995 by University of Chicago Press.
