Data on educational attainment and quality

For those interested in education research and policy, I'd like to share two recent papers on educational attainment and quality:

• A New Data Set of Educational Attainment in the World, 1950–2010
• A New International Database on Education Quality: 1965-2010 (via MR and Robin Grier)

By the way, these databases have recently been updated (and they are available for download)

• Barro-Lee Attainment Dataset
• Dataset on Human Capital Quality 2.0
