Data from a large sample of young black and white males (out of school) are utilized to analyze the impact of the quantity and quality of education (district-wide annual expenditures per student) on earnings. Large but diminishing returns to incremental expenditures are observed. The findings also suggest that education's role in the large relative gains in black earnings during the 1960s worked through quality instead of quantity aspects. Finally, the returns to education are sensitive to the specification of the potential labor market experience variable.
