Further Evidence on the Weak and Strong Versions of the Screening Hypothesis in Greece.

Lambropoulos, Haris S.

Economics of Education Review, v11 n1 p661-65 1992

Uses Greek data for 1981 and 1985 to test screening hypothesis by replicating method proposed by Psacharopoulos. Credentialism, or sheepskin effect of education, directly challenges human capital theory, which views education as a productivity augmenting process. Results do not support the strong version of the screening hypothesis and suggest that human capital theory cannot be dismissed. (27 references) (MLH)
