The observed trends in school enrollment and graduation rates in the US as well as changes in ability scores over the last 30 years are not nearly large enough to make much of a tend in rise of the skill premia observed over the last decades. Indeed, if skill biased technical change continues at the rate documented by Katz and Murphy (1992) and Autor, Katz, and Kearney (2008), then I expect returns to education to continue to widen. If there is a reaction to the widening in the skill premia, then I don't expect this response to come from the US supply of skill.flhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04403581011173513612noreply@blogger.com
