Hanushek and Woessmann exploit recently connected data from TIMMS and PISA and other international assessments to construct the most sophisticated and comprehensive measures yet seen of learning across countries and over time.—Education Next—
In addition to compiling a data set of internationally comparable measures of cognitive skills, the authors have convincingly shown that such measures correlate highly with economic growth and cognitive skills can explain away large differences in growth rates between world regions… [A] valuable contribution and an interesting read.
