Estimate of the Production Function of Education
This article calculates the production function of education for combined junior and senior high schools (âcombined high schoolsâ) in the capital and Kinki regions.

First, at all combined high schools in the capital and Kinki and regions, university admission success, which is often viewed as an important indicator of the quality of a junior high or high school education, is largely determined by the average academic skills >i>(hensachi)>/i> of students enrolled in that school. Second, if we control for the average academic skills of students enrolled in a school and the attributes of that school, the only effort that can be made by the school to statistically improve the university admission success of its graduates in any clear way is to increase total class
