Sample selectivity and the validity of international student achievement tests in economic research

Eric Hanushek and Ludger Woessmann

Economics Letters, 2011, vol. 110, issue 2, 79-82

But accounting for sample selectivity does not alter existing evidence that academic achievement enters importantly in economic growth regressions.
