Education, skills, and technical change - implications for future u.s. gdp growth, Hulten, Charles Ramey, Valerie

Education, Skills, and Technical Change explores various facets of these questions and provides an overview of educational attainment in the United States and the channels through which labor force skills and education affect GDP growth. Contributors to this volume focus on a range of educational and training institutions and bring new data to bear on how we understand the role of college and vocational education and the size and nature of the skills gap. This work links a range of research areas--such as growth accounting, skill development, higher education, and immigration--and also examines how well students are being prepared for the current and future world of work.
