Across three papers, I reevaluate the roles that teacher quality and court-ordered school finance reform have in improving student achievement. In the first paper, I examine the extent to which teachers have longer-term effects on student achievement using administrative data from Miami-Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS). I define longer-term effects as the effects teachers have on student achievement in the years after they teach their students. Using a flexible statistical model, I obtain teacher-specific short-term and longer-term effects. I also estimate the extent to which short-term and longer-term effects relate to one another, on average. Results suggest that there is meaningful variation in teacher longer-term effects. I also find that short-term and longer-term effects are not perfectly correlated with each other. Finally, I find that having a master's degree or Ph. D. is associated with higher longer-term effects when estimating the model for math teachers. In the second paper, I assess the validity and stability of short-term and longer-term teacher effect estimates. I assess validity by examining whether future teachers predict the past test score gains of students they have not yet taught. This particular test is designed to provide evidence of student sorting bias that could potentially invalidate the teacher effect estimates. I then assess the stability of teacher effect estimates by considering the stability of teacher effects across different cohorts of students and the stability of teacher effects across math and English language arts within a given cohort of students. Results show that teacher effect estimates suffer from sorting bias. Although this is problematic, it suggests the need to understand whether the sorting bias is large enough to invalidate teacher effect estimates; this is an area of future research. With respect to stability, there is substantive overlap of teacher effects--both short-term and longer-term--across student cohorts, which suggests that the estimates carry some true signal of teacher quality and are reliable. Overlap of teacher effects across subjects is also non-trivial, but it is less stable the across cohort stability. These results suggest that teachers have different strengths in different subjects. In the third paper, Kenneth Shores and I provide new evidence about the effect of court-ordered finance reform on per-pupil revenues and graduation rates. We account for cross-sectional dependence and heterogeneity in the treated and counterfactual groups to estimate the effect of overturning a state's finance system. Seven years after reform, the highest poverty quartile in a treated state experienced a 4 to 12 percent increase in per-pupil spending and a 5 to 8 percentage point increase in graduation rates. We subject the model to various sensitivity tests. In most cases, point estimates for graduation rates are within 2 percentage points of our preferred model.

Sponsored by the Association for Education Finance and Policy (AEFP), the second edition of this groundbreaking handbook assembles in one place the existing research-based knowledge in education finance and policy, with particular attention to elementary and secondary education. Chapters from the first edition have been fully updated and revised to reflect current developments, new policies, and recent research. With new chapters on teacher evaluation, alternatives to traditional public schooling, and cost-benefit analysis, this volume provides a readily available current resource for anyone involved in education finance and policy. The Handbook of Research in Education Finance and Policy traces the evolution of the field from its initial focus on school inputs and revenue sources used to finance these inputs, to a focus on educational outcomes and the larger policies used to achieve them. Chapters show how decision making in school finance inevitably interacts with decisions about governance, accountability, equity, privatization, and other areas of education policy. Because a full understanding of important contemporary issues requires inputs from a variety of perspectives, the Handbook draws on contributors from a number of disciplines. Although many of the chapters cover complex, state-of-the-art empirical research, the authors explain key concepts in language that non-specialists can understand. This comprehensive, balanced, and accessible resource provides a wealth of factual information, data, and wisdom to help educators improve the quality of education in the United States.

School principals, superintendents, and other administrative personnel must have a solid understanding of the general finance and appropriation structure of federal, state, and local government as well as the ability to formulate and manage school budgets. With the guidance of this new text, educational leadership candidates preparing for such roles will learn the realities of school finance policy, issues, and applications. By providing critical analysis and by including unique chapters on misconceptions about school finance, demographic issues, spending and student achievement, and future trends, authors William Owings and Leslie Kaplan exceed the coverage of these topics as found in other texts.

Funding, efficiency, and equity in education In OECD countries the average expenditure on primary and secondary education institutions is about 3.5% of GDP. The investment in education has large implications for economic development and the proper functioning of democratic institutions, as well as overall well-being. However, clear consensus and guidance on which system leads to the best educational outcomes is lacking. This volume describes the resource allocation for compulsory and special needs education for a selection of well-performing countries and regions on PISA tests. By studying the funding systems in well-performing countries and regions the authors identify the elements in the respective funding systems that are associated with best outcomes and have the ideal characteristics to pursue particular goals of education systems such as equity and efficiency. The funding methods of primary and secondary education as well as special needs education are covered. Ebook available in Open Access. This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).

A collection of short, stand-alone chapters divided into five sections including overview of the field; private and social returns to human capital investments; production, costs and ?nancing of education; teachers and teacher labor markets; and education markets, choice and incentives. The collection provides international perspectives that describe the origins of these subjects, their major issues and proponents, their landmark studies, and opportunities for future research. The 70 contributors are each well-regarded economists whose research has advanced the topic on which they write, and this book fulfills an undersupplied niche for a text in the economics of education. The chapters come from the acclaimed International Encyclopedia of Education, 3e (2010), edited by Eva Baker, Barry McGaw, and Penelope Peterson. The Encyclopedia contains over 1,350 articles in 24 sections that stretch from educational philosophies and technologies to measurement, leadership, and national systems of education. This single volume textbook presents a cohesive view of this increasingly important area ofeconomics Superb contributions from well-regarded economist convey unique and useful perspectives Chapters contain an extensive bibliography and further readings to enable interestedresearchers to extend their knowledge into each speci?c topic
