Metrics That Matter
"This book examines alternative perspectives on often flawed and misleading college metrics to help students make important education decisions"--
Modern Labor Economics
Modern Labor Economics: Theory and Public Policy, now in its fourteenth edition, continues to be the leading text for one-semester courses in labor economics at the undergraduate and graduate levels. It offers a thorough overview of the modern theory of labor market behavior and reveals how this theory is used to analyze public policy. Designed for students who may not have extensive backgrounds in economics, the text balances theoretical coverage with examples of practical applications that allow students to see concepts in action. The authors believe that showing students the social implications of the concepts discussed in the course will enhance their motivation to learn. Consequently, t...
A Problem of Fit
"A college education doesn't come with a sticker price. Maybe it should. Millions of Americans miss out on the economic benefits of a college education because of concerns around the costs. Financial aid systems offer limited help and produce uneven distributions. In the United States today, the systems meant to improve access to education have added a new layer of deterrence. In Mismatch, economist Philip B. Levine examines the role of financial aid systems in facilitating (and discouraging) access to college. If markets require prices in order to function optimally, then the American higher-education system--rife as it is with hidden and variable costs--amounts to a market failure. It's a ...

Uncountable
Ranging from math to literature to philosophy, Uncountable explains how numbers triumphed as the basis of knowledge—and compromise our sense of humanity. Our knowledge of mathematics has structured much of what we think we know about ourselves as individuals and communities, shaping our psychologies, sociologies, and economies. In pursuit of a more predictable and more controllable cosmos, we have extended mathematical insights and methods to more and more aspects of the world. Today those powers are greater than ever, as computation is applied to virtually every aspect of human activity. Yet, in the process, are we losing sight of the human? When we apply mathematics so broadly, what do w...
Il tuo futuro è adesso
Quante volte ci capita di sognare - non solo da bambini - di costruire una macchina del tempo per scoprire se un giorno diventeremo davvero la persona che vogliamo essere? Pura fantascienza, lo sappiamo. E seppelliamo l'idea, presi dal presente frenetico che conosciamo bene. Puntualmente riempiamo la nostra vita di mille impegni per poi accorgerci, con ansia, che non siamo in grado di portarli a termine. Per consolarci cerchiamo gratificazioni istantanee, come se le conseguenze non ci riguardassero. Siamo talmente concentrati sull'oggi che il futuro arriva di colpo e ci coglie impreparati. E ci ritroviamo esausti e insoddisfatti, se non addirittura travolti dagli eventi. Cosa direbbe di noi ...
Poverty And Proficiency: The Cost Of And Demand For Local Public Education (A Textbook In Education Finance)

The topics in the book include the incidence of the property tax as a source of revenue for elementary and secondary education, how much more it costs to reach a state's education targets in a high-poverty school district than in a rich district, the design of state education aid programs, the impact of school quality on house values, the cost implications of school district consolidations, and the impact of state aid on school infrastructure.
