This is Abebe from Addis Ababa university,Economics Msc student. Woubet, I am working my theses on health and economic growth and when I google related literature, I got ur Msc paper and read the whole parts of it. I got it interesting! my work is on African countries. to run my regression, by using Barro & Lee education dataset for one of my control variable, education. When I collect data, I got Ethiopian education data in this dataset is missed. For this reason, I would not like to exclude our country from my sample.Fortunately, I read from your paper that you have formed a dataset on ethiopian average years of education in the Barro_Lee fashion. Dear woubet may I acknowledge and use your education dataset, please? I am not able to know your email to communicate with. I made a lot of attempt to meet you face to face, but someone told me that you are not in ethiopia at this moment. when I google your name I got this link and then I also joined the group to be able to write this msg to you Woubet, Please let me know your response via my email address of ' abebeamb@yahoo.com '
Thank you in advance
yours,
Abebe Ambachew
