The administration's turn toward education signaled that the president hoped to get beyond health care and broaden the agenda before the midterm elections make progress on legislative issues more difficult.
But several major states are still tossups. 1 The candidates' budget proposals appear to be more substantive than those in previous elections, experts say, but each plan hinges on optimistic assumptions. 1 Mr. Bush attacked Mr. Gore's positions on tax cuts, Medicare and education, signaling his campaign's desire to focus on issues.
However, there is an argument that as the number of working years increases the strength of the education signal diminishes.
Therefore, taking into account the level of professional experience achieved before migration, along with the formal education qualifications, provides a more accurate estimate of the immigrants' real productivity, especially since the education signal attenuates with work experience.
For example, immigrants who have gained professional experience in the home country in jobs below their education level might be assessed by host country employers as having lower abilities and skills than those expected from their formal education, since the education signal attenuates with work experience.
We, however, diverge from the existing literature and argue that it is not only the education signal or some other observed characteristic, like race, that determines the incidence of mismatch, but the actual signal of "real" productivity from the previous "mismatched" work experience.
The same basic structure appears in Lang and Manove's([2011]) test of a model in which young individuals' educational attainment decisions are determined by their existing cognitive ability and by one's race (owing to race-based differences in the way the education signal is perceived by employers).
Factors such as age, sex, BMI, level of education, cerebral signals (global mean signal, WM signal, and cerebrospinal fluid signal), and motion parameters were included as nuisance covariates to control the possible effects of these factors on the results.
The education disparity signals trouble for Trump, as white college-educated voters not only comprises one-third of the electorate, but have traditionally voted Republican since 1952.
