Rezensionen
"Although this comprehensive reference work contains articles on topics of both economics and finance, the subject matter, as captured by the title, is decidedly focused on issues of economics and finance of education and educators. This unique focus will interest educators and educational researchers, since even standard-fare topics, such as Cost-benefit analysis and Spillover effects, are focus on the economics and finance of education. ...The specialized focus of this set makes it an attractive addition to any social-science, education, or specialized research library."
