| Group 2: Inequalities and public intervention | ||
|---|---|---|
| Citation | Journal | Main findings |
| Rice (1999) | Journal of Population Economics | During a recession, higher localized rates of unemployment are associated with greater numbers of students enrolled in higher education |
| Anderberg (2000) | Journal of Population Economics | Education and social insurance integration in high-risk sectors may enhance welfare by transforming education policy into a national insurance complement |
| Ahituv (2001) | Journal of Population Economics | Reducing the gender disparity in schooling promotes income growth and decreases fertility, but disparities in wealth persist |
| Iyigun (2005) | Journal of Population Economics | Investments into education encourage growth in geographically favorable regions but not in less beneficial ones |
| Booth and Coles (2010) | Labour Economics | Asymmetrically taxed labor market profits boost domestic production, which influences labor supply and education |
| De Fraja and Valbonesi (2012) | Journal of Public Economics | Students desire increased salaries from university education, whereas institutions set tuition to optimize research resources. Government action must strike a balance between labor market equity and efficient production by encouraging more students and research at high-productivity universities |
| Yamauchi and Liu (2013) | Journal of Development Studies | Public investment in elementary education has a positive long-term impact on high school and college accomplishments |
| Cantoni and Yuchtman (2013) | Journal of Development Economics | Investments in various forms of human capital have an impact on development, which is influenced by political-economic procedures that establish skill incentives |
| Glewwe, Maïga, and Zheng (2014) | World Development | In Sub-Saharan Africa, education has a smaller impact on economic growth, which is most likely due to lower quality of education compared to other regions |
| Gruber and Kosack (2014) | World Development | Greater primary levels of enrollment are associated with slightly greater future inequality in developing nations |
| Meier and Schiopu (2015) | Journal of Public Economics | The best policy for deterring or promoting higher education depends on technological advancement |
| Amuedo-Dorantes and Antman (2017) | Journal of Population Economics | Despite the expectations, DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) has lowered school attendance for eligible young people with the necessary credentials, possibly due to higher opportunity costs |
| Haddad et al. (2017) | Journal of Development Studies | Public education funding (Funded) had a modest influence on human capital formation |
| Esposito and Villaseñor (2018) | Journal of Development Studies | Wealth inequalities harm school attendance, but the educational environment provides a favorable contribution. Education has long-term benefits |
| Lundborg et al. (2018) | Journal of Population Economics | The study emphasizes the importance of cognitive and noncognitive skills, as well as health, in comprehending generational human capital transmission |
| Ajefu and Abiona (2019) | Journal of Development Studies | NREGS (National Rural Employment Guarantee Schemes) exposure increases labor demand during positive shocks, lowering children’s school attendance due to increasing informal employment opportunities |
| Minasyan et al. (2019) | World Development | Gender equality in education has a statistically significant beneficial effect on economic growth |
| Dao et al. (2021) | Journal of Population Economics | Higher spending on female education increases human capital, accelerates technological development, and creates a feedback loop that leads to a new fertility regime and economic prosperity |
| Fitz and League (2021) | Journal of Development Studies | Children who do not attend school are much more likely to work, implying that positive income shocks enhance child labor while decreasing education. Despite the short-term benefits to families, less education might lead to poorer adult earnings |
| Chassamboulli and Gomes (2023) | Labour Economics | In segmented markets, raising skilled public-sector wages has a minor positive effect on schooling but a negative impact on skilled private employment, and vice versa |
