Abstract/Description
There is extensive literature on education and its distribution within and across countries. However, the measurement of the latter does not incorporate the quality of education. This paper fills the gap by first calculating the quality-adjusted human capital and then using it to construct a measure of quality-adjusted human capital inequality.
