About this ebook
Noncognitive Skills and Their Development includes recent research on how to incorporate the noncognitive side of ability in economic theory and to empirically assess and explain its role in labor market and behavioral outcomes. Contributions investigate to what extent the assignment of workers is not only determined by traditional cognitive variables but also by personality traits. The issue includes work on understanding the role of noncognitive skills in explaining the labor market position of underrepresented groups and presents work that integrates the economic and psychological theory and evidence on noncognitive skills.Thomas J. Kniesner is the Krisher Professor of Economics at the Center for Policy Research at Syracuse University. Bas ter Weel is head of the department of International Economics at the Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis.
