    This paper provides a new measure of human capital using PISA and PIAAC surveys, and mean years of schooling. The new measure is a cohort-weighted average of past PISA scores (representing the quality of education) of the working age population and the corresponding mean years of schooling (representing the quantity of education). In contrast to the existing literature, the relative weights of each component are not imposed or calibrated but directly estimated. The paper finds that the elasticity of the stock of human capital with respect to the quality of education is three to four times larger than for the quantity of education. The new measure has a strong link to productivity with the potential for productivity gains being much greater from improvements in the quality than quantity component of human capital. The magnitude of these potential gains in MFP is considerable but the effects materialise with long lags. The paper simulates the impact of a particular reform to education policy (pre-primary education) on human capital and productivity to demonstrate the usefulness of the new measure for policy analysis.

    The new organization of upper secondary level in Brazil introduced by the law number 13.415 of 2017 began to be implemented in 2022. The present paper focused in analyzing the process involving the translation of national directives to local curriculums and their implementation is selected high schools located in the states of Ceará, Goiás and Paraná. The analysis draws on semi-structured interviews carried online between October 2022 and February 2023 with public agents on the state level, high school principals, teachers and students. The main challenges were to train the school staff to teach according to the new directives and to respect student choices of subjects and classes of the flexible part of the curriculum with the resources available at the schools. The balance between the general and the specific teaching is also an important issue that involves preparing students to compete in selective entry exams in tertiary education without exacerbating existing inequalities.

    This paper uses a new measure of human capital, which distinguishes both quality and quantity components, to estimate the long-term effect of the Covid-19-related school closures on aggregate productivity through the human capital channel. Productivity losses build up over time and are estimated to range between 0.4% and 2.1% after 45 years, for 12 weeks and 2 years of school closure, respectively. These results appear to be broadly consistent with earlier findings in the literature. Two opposing effects might influence these estimates. Online teaching would lower economic costs while learning losses in tertiary education (not considered here) would inflate them. Policies aimed at improving the quality of education and adult training will be needed to offset or, at least, alleviate the impact of the pandemic on human capital.
