Economics
of education – definition of the position |
|
| |
|
|
|
Judging by the many studies
done in the field concerning the economics of education over
the last ten years, this discipline, which represents the interface
between economics and education, is enjoying a Renaissance.
This article attempts to summarize and interpret some of the
themes and findings of the most recent research done in the
field. The themes selected have been organized into two sections:
one, research questions that have more of a human capital orientation,
and two, more traditional economics of education questions that
focus on the financing of education and its production in the
educational system. The article concludes that despite the impressive
amount of research currently being conducted, most questions
remain unanswered or subject to dispute. More investment, and
in particular a better mooring of the economics of education
in the scientific community are thus needed if the economics
of education is to fulfill the growing expectations of those
involved in shaping educational policies and administering educational
systems. |
