Economists have attempted empirical measurements of the economic value of specific taught skills
Multiple empirical economic studies measure the labor market returns, wage premiums, and economic value associated with specific educational attainments and taught skills.
The claim is specific and falsifiable, concerning whether economists have attempted empirical measurements of the economic value of specific taught skills. The retrieved papers contain numerous empirical analyses examining the economic returns, wage premiums, and productivity effects of education, digital skills, and work experience, thereby supporting the claim.
