6According to the logic of industrialism thesis during industrialization, the influence of, achieved characteristics on mate selection increased, while the influence of ascribed, characteristics decreased. Other processes that accompanied industrialization, such as, the development of mass communication, urbanization, increasing regional mobility, modern transport, and educational expansion, were hypothesized to break down, cultural differences and cause a decline of status based mate selection. This study, provides a first direct test of these hypotheses by analyzing a large dataset on, marriages in the Dutch province Zeeland between 1811 and 1915, a period before and, during industrialization. Industrialization and the other afore mentioned processes, were measured at the local level in each year of marriage, to take both local and, temporal variation into account. Using multilevel analyses it is shown that (1) the, influence of ascribed and achieved characteristics on status of the spouse differed, considerably between municipalities and changed over time, (2) the influence of, ascribed characteristics decreased, while the influence of achieved characteristics, remained unchanged, (3) the logic of industrialism thesis is supported, while, processes accompanying industrialization are less systematically related to changes in, ascription and achievement.

“…The majority of the following evidence stems from various researches on the history of education especially in West Africa (Adick 1992). But there seems to be similar evidence from other regions (e.g., Craig 1981). It is advocated that the historical changes which eventually led to new forms of schooling in non-European countries should be evaluated, on the one hand, as being part of their own history (indigenous achievements and failures in the process of adapting to a new world situation), and, on the other hand, as reflecting world-wide and long-term changes in the history of education of mankind (the educational revolution from 'pre-modem' to 'modem' systems of schooling).…”

“…The disadvantage of Protestant affiliation as an instrument is that it could affect a nation's income through mechanisms not related to investment in schooling. As is well known, Weber [1905] argued that the "Protestant ethic" causes Protestants to save more of their incomes and 13 There has long been a hypothesis that the rise of capitalism is related to the Protestants' promotion of literacy and education to facilitate the study of the Bible [Means, 1966 andCraig, 1981]. work harder. What is not well known is that Weber's hypothesis has been overwhelmingly rejected by the empirical evidence [Iannaccone, 1998].…”

In Mankiw, Romer, and Weil's augmented Solow model [Quarterly Journal of Economics 107 (2) 407–437 (1992)], the marginal product of human capital accrues to three factors of production: directly to human capital, and as an external effect to physical capital and labor. This paper estimates national stocks of human capital in 1990 created from prior investment in schooling and shows that for 36 countries the (macro) marginal product of human capital accruing to workers in 1990 is consistent with estimates of the (micro) marginal return on investment in schooling in workers' earnings studies. This reconciliation provides empirical evidence for the augmented Solow model.
