8. Some would argue that educational attainment is a proxy for human capital formation and a contributing factor to economic growth and productivity change, or the lack of both. However, studies of the contribution of education to economic growth in the United States raise substantial doubts about the immediate relevance of the cognitive content of formal education to the processes through which the productivity of the workforce was being enhanced. In fact, accumulation of work force experience was found to be a more important determinant of differential earnings. See Mozes Abramovitz and Paul David, ‘Two Centuries of American Macroeconomic Growth: From Exploitation of Resource Abundance to Knowledge-Driven Development’, Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research Discussion Paper 01–05 (Stanford 2001) 157. Hence, educational attainment is perhaps more relevant as an indicator of the standard of living.
