摘要
The World Bank's 1995 Education Sector Review relies very heavily on conventional rates of return to education (RORE) analysis in support of three (out of a total of six) key recommendations. This paper (i) critically examines how the Review draws on RORE research, (ii) shows that none of the alleged global RORE patterns exist; and (iii) more generally, questions the role of RORE analysis as an economic tool for education policy makers.
