What differences a day can make : quantile regression estimates of the distribution of daily learning gains
Hayes, Michael S.; Gershenson, Seth - 2015
Recent research exploits a variety of natural experiments that create exogenous variation in annual school days to estimate the average effect of formal schooling on students' academic achievement. However, the extant literature's focus on average effects masks potentially important variation in...
