However, research in this area is often very technical and therefore not easily accessible to those who wish to use it as a guide to policy formation. This book provides an interface between such research and its potential applications in government, education and business. Reporting on a major research initiative, new findings are presented in a non-technical way on three major themes: measuring the benefits from human capital, applications of the human capital model, and policy interventions. Aimed at academic researchers and professionals concerned with the problems and techniques of human capital theory, it will also be useful for graduate courses on the economics of education to complement standard textbooks. 606 $aHuman capital 615 0$aHuman capital. 676 $a331.12/5 702 $aHartog$b Joop 702 $aMaassen van den Brink$b Henrie?tte 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784324603321 996 $aHuman capital$91131333 997 $aUNINA
