dc.description.abstract | The fraction of persons holding a college degree differs nearly two-fold across U.S. states.This paper documents data related to state educational attainment differences and explorespossible explanations. It shows that highly educated states employ skillbiased technologies,specialize in skill-intensive industries, but do not pay lower skill premia than do less educatedstates. Moreover, measures of urbanization and population density are positively related toeducational attainment. Theories based on agglomeration economies offer naturalexplanations for these observations. | en |
