施瓦茨最近的一项重要研究发现，减少儿童铅接触的好处中，几乎有四分之三是收入增加（避免了收入损失）。关于劳动力市场教育回报和认知技能的近期趋势的新数据表明，有必要向上修正这一估计。根据对全国青年纵向调查数据的分析，本研究估计，对于每年25亿美元的出生队列来说，至少有50%的向上修正。研究还发现，有证据表明，女性的收入增幅比男性大得多。(C) 1995学术出版社，Inc。
The recent and important study by Schwartz found that almost three-fourths of the benefits of reduced lead exposure in children are in the form of earnings gains (earnings losses avoided). New data on recent trends in returns to education and cognitive skills in the labor market suggest a need to revise this estimate upward. Based on an analysis of data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, the present study estimates that an upward revision of at least 50% for $2.5 billion per annual birth cohort) is indicated. The study also finds evidence that percentage earnings gains are considerably larger for females than for males. (C) 1995 Academic Press, Inc.
