Updated Barro-Lee dataset online

The Barro-Lee (1994) dataset has been a standard dataset for macroeconomic cross-country analyses. After the update 10 years ago (Barro and Lee, 2000), the dataset has been once more extended and now comprises 8 more countries, covering 1950-2010. The updated working paper also includes an empirical exercise, where the effect of education on growth is re-estimated using an IV strategy (lagging parents' education). Now that's something new under sky innit?

Get the paper here.

  6. I do not understand what you mean by "full dataset" - BarroLee IS educational data. In any case, you can download it from: www.barrolee.com
