Unintended bottleneck and essential nonlinearity: Understanding the effects of public primary school expansion on intergenerational educational mobility
Ahsan, Md Nazmul; Shilpi, Forhad; Emran, Shahe - 2022
We study the effects of 61,000 public primary schools on intergenerational educational mobility in Indonesia using full-count census data, a credible identification strategy, and theory-based nonlinearity in the mobility equation. We find that the mobility curve is concave in most of the cases,...

Public Primary School Expansion, Gender-based Crowding Out, and Intergenerational Educational Mobility
Ahsan, Md Nazmul; Shilpi, Forhad; Emran, Shahe - 2023
From 1965 to 1985, the number of schools doubled in developing countries, but little is known about their impacts on intergenerational educational mobility. We study the effects of 61,000 public primary schools constructed in the 1970s in Indonesia on intergenerational educational mobility,...

Development of Grounded Theory in Social Sciences: A Qualitative Approach
Mohajan, Devajit; Mohajan, Haradhan - 2022
Grounded theory (GT) is a general research method that provides the efficient generation of theory from data, which are collected by a strong, sound, and fair research method. It is an inductive methodology that systematically collects and analyzes data for developing theory on human behavior in...

Test Scores, Schools, and the Geography of Economic Opportunity
Mookerjee, Sulagna; Slichter, David - 2018
Do standardized test scores in a community indicate whether schools there are effective at producing human capital? Counties with high average test scores produce high-earning adults. But, using data from North Carolina, we find that counties' effects on test scores are either uncorrelated (for...

On the Rank-Rank Model of Intergenerational Mobility: Pitfalls for Policy Evaluation
Ahsan, Md Nazmul; Emran, M. Shahe; Shilpi, Forhad - 2024
We analyze the challenges in adopting the rank-rank model of intergenerational mobility for policy evaluation. For rank-based analysis of intergenerational mobility, it is standard to calculate cohort-specific ranks from the national distribution, but separately for children's and parents'...
