School Progression and the Grade Distribution of Students: Evidence from the Current Population Survey
Cascio, Elizabeth U. - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2005
21% of non-repeaters are below grade, while 12% of repeaters are not. Misclassification attenuates regression …

(Don't) walk this way : the econometrics of crosswalks
Millimet, Daniel L. - 2024
It is increasingly common in empirical research to merge data sets containing different units of observation. When the units are not nested, a crosswalk specifying how the units from one data source are allocated to the units of the other is needed. Unfortunately, most crosswalks are ad hoc, a...

The effects of test-based retention on student outcomes over time: Regression discontinuity evidence from Florida
Schwerdt, Guido; West, Martin R. - 2013
A growing number of American states require that students who do not demonstrate basic reading proficiency at the end of third grade be retained and provided with remedial services. We exploit a discontinuity in the probability of third grade retention under Florida's test-based promotion policy...

Modeling the Effects of Grade Retention in High School
Baert, Stijn; Cockx, Bart; Picchio, Matteo - 2015
A dynamic discrete choice model is set up to estimate the effects of grade retention in high school, both in the short- (end-of-year evaluation) and long-run (drop-out and delay). In contrast to regression discontinuity designs, this approach captures treatment heterogeneity and controls for...

"I wish I knew ..." - Misperceived Ability, School Track Counseling Services and Performances in Upper Secondary Education
Bernardi, Martino; Bratti, Massimiliano; De Simone, … - 2014
Previous research shows that, in tracked school systems, enrollment decisions are strongly associated with future outcomes both in education and on the labour market. Yet few studies explicitly investigate whether students (and their parents) have all the relevant information they need to make...
