My source for national accounts including market-valued capital was the website of Thomas Piketty and Gabriel Zucman adjusting their data to uniform accounting standards and measuring them in 2010 currency units. It also collects recent and past r

Piketty and Zucman incorporate this research and others. They have acted as editors only. As a layman, I would hardly be qualified to find and interpret orig

Here I would fault Mincer and his pupil Becker, but not Schultz or Ben-Porath, for too much focus on the potential of job training. It exists and is crucial. But it is so smal

Not that I think much of Piketty’s arguments. But his website with Zucman is as powerful a new resource for scholarship and the database

Schultz’ greatest achievement, unless Mincer beat him, was in spotlighting human depreciation. That left me to ask where this huge flow goes. The answer becomes inescapable once we focus on the
