उच्च स्कोरिंग लेकिन गरीब: उच्च शिक्षा में प्रतिभा का गलत आवंटन
जैसे-जैसे कॉलेज शिक्षा में श्रम बाजार के लाभों में बढ़ोतरी हुई है, अब पहले से कहीं अधिक युवको को किसी न किसी प्रकार की उच्च शिक्षा प्राप्त हो रही है। फिर भी, गरीब सामाजिक आर्थिक स्थिति के बच्चों की कॉलेज में उपस्थिति कम रहती है। यह लेख उस असमानता की पड़ताल करता है। इस लेख में पाया गया है कि पारिवारिक पृष्ठभूमि कॉलेज में उपस्थिति के लिए अकादमिक तैयारी से अधिक महत्वपूर्ण है, क्योंकि अपनी कक्षा में शीर्ष स्थान पर रहने वाले गरीब छात्रों के कॉलेज में उपस्थित रहने की संभावना उतनी ही होती है जितनी उनकी कक्षा में सबसे नीचे स्थान पर रहने वाले अमीर छात्रों की होती है।

High scoring but poor: The misallocation of talent in higher education
As labour market returns to college education have increased, more young adults now receive some form of higher education than ever before.
