The production and use of human capital: Introduction

Lex Borghans and Hans Heijke ()

Education Economics, 2005, vol. 13, issue 2, 133-142

Abstract: With the growing importance of knowledge, new research questions arise that require more explicit analyses of the way human capital is produced and how it is used in the labour market. In this introduction to this special issue we provide examples of such questions and argue that economics can play an important role in areas traditionally studied by educationalist solely. From this perspective we summarize the six contributions in this special issue.
