Overview & Synopsis
Assesses the importance of rate-of-return (RoR) analysis for planning and policy making in higher education. Reviews methods used and discusses criticisms against RoR in relation to the screening function of education, the measurement of educational costs and benefits, and the pure effect of education on earnings. Recommends extension of RoR analysis to education quality, value of different types of education, and as a basis for the demand for higher education. (EV)
