Rappleye, Jeremy; Komatsu, Hikaru – Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education, 2021
Extending recent analyses using PISA data, the current study utilises the OECD's Survey of Adult Skills (PIAAC) to test the central claims of knowledge capital theory.

Beuermann, Diether W.; Bottan, Nicolas L.; Hoffmann, Bridget; Jackson, C. Kirabo; Cossio, Diego A. Vera – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2021
Canonical human capital theories posit that education, by enhancing worker skills, reduces the likelihood that a worker will be laid-off during times of economic change. Yet, this has not been demonstrated causally. We link administrative education records from 1987 through 2002 to nationally representative surveys conducted before and after…

Norris, Trevor – Journal of Philosophy of Education, 2020
This article explores how consumerism is impacting education, with a special focus on the 'student as consumer' model.

I investigate the…
