The impact of truancy on educational attainment : a bivariate ordered probit estimator with mixed effects
Buscha, Franz; Conte, Anna - 2010
This paper investigates the relationship between educational attainment and truancy. Using data from the Youth Cohort … Study of England and Wales, we estimate the causal impact that truancy has on educational attainment at age 16. Problematic … is that both truancy and attainment are measured as ordered responses requiring a bivariate ordered probit model to …

Endogenous variables in non-linear models with mixed effects : inconsistence under perfect identification conditions?
Buscha, Franz; Conte, Anna - 2013
This paper examines the consequences of introducing a normally distributed effect into a system where the dependent variable is ordered and the explanatory variable is ordered and endogenous. Using simulation techniques we show that a naive bivariate ordered probit estimator which fails to take...

School quality beyond test scores : the role of schools in shaping educational outcomes
Loviglio, Annalisa - 2023
I study how schools impact student performance and educational attainment throughout secondary education, and show that school quality cannot be easily captured by any type of rankings because students with differing characteristics and abilities benefit from different school inputs. To do so, I...

The Role of Specific Subjects in Education Production Functions : Evidence from Morning Classes in Chicago Public High Schools
Bricker, Jesse; Cortes, Kalena E.; Rohlfs, Chris - 2011
Absences in Chicago Public High Schools are 3-7 days per year higher in first period than at other times of the day. This study exploits this empirical regularity and the essentially random variation between students in the ordering of classes over the day to measure how the returns to classroom...

Why subsidize independent schools? : estimating the effect of a unique Canadian schooling model on educational attainment
Lefebvre, Pierre; Merrigan, Philip - 2021
Canada is recognized as one of the top 10 countries in secondary education according to PISA results. A particularly intriguing case in this country is the large system of highly subsidized independent schools in the province of Québec where students also perform extremely well in PISA testing....

Class size, education, and wages
Dustmann, Christian; Rajah, Najma; Soest, Arthur van - 2002
This paper examines the effects of class size on the decision to stay on in full time schooling at the age of 16 and on wages at later stages in life. Little research exists on the effect of school quality on career decisions, although it has potentially important long term implications. We use...
