The Effect of Pre-Primary Education on Primary School Performance

Berlinski, Samuel G. - 2006

Although the theoretical case for universal pre-primary education is strong, the empirical foundation is weak. In this paper, we contribute to the empirical case by investigating the effect of a large expansion of universal pre-primary education on subsequent primary school performance in...

Experimental estimates of the student attendance production function

Tran, Long; Gershenson, Seth - 2018

Student attendance is both a critical input and intermediate output of the education production function. However, the malleable classroom-level determinants of student attendance are poorly understood. We estimate the causal effect of class size and observable teacher qualifications on student...

Which school systems sort weaker students into smaller classes? : international evidence

West, Martin R.; Woessmann, Ludger - 2003

We examine whether the sorting of differently achieving students into differently sized classes results in a regressive or compensatory pattern of class sizes for a sample of national school systems. Sorting effects are identified by subtracting the causal effect of class size on performance...

Long-term effects of school size on students' outcomes

Humlum, Maria Knoth; Smith, Nina - 2014

We estimate the effect of school size on students' long-term outcomes such as high school completion, being out of the labor market, and earnings at the age of 30. We use rich register data on the entire population of Danish children attending grade 9 in the period 1986-2004. This allows us to...
