The findings show that improved quality of education, as opposed to differential vintage effects, is responsible for blacks' relative income gains. For blacks, the interaction between years of schooling and expenditures may partially explain other researchers' pessimistic findings that education has little impact on black earnings. This note on Welch's l973 article in the American Economic Review supports the hypothesis that improved quality of black education is responsible for blacks' relative income gains. |
