Resumen de Cross-country data on the quantity of schooling: a selective survey and some quality measures

Ángel de la Fuente Moreno, Rafael Doménech Vilariño

• We survey a number of papers that have focused on the construction of cross-country data sets on average years of schooling. We discuss the construction of the different series, compare their profiles and construct indicators of their information content. The discussion focuses on a sample of OECD countries but we also provide some results for a large non- OECD sample.
