Long-run trends in the U.S. SES-achievement gap
Hanushek, Eric Alan; Peterson, Paul E.; Talpey, Laura M.; … - 2020
Rising inequality in the United States has raised concerns about potentially widening gaps in educational achievement by socio-economic status (SES). Using assessments from LTT-NAEP, Main-NAEP, TIMSS, and PISA that are psychometrically linked over time, we trace trends in achievement for U.S....

The stairways to heaven: a model of career choice in sports and games, with an application to chess
Ariga, Kenn; Brunello, Giorgio; Iwahashi, Roki; Rocco, … - 2008
We model individual careers in sports and games from initial entry to eventual exit or success as a discrete-choice, finite-horizon optimization problem. We apply this model to the international game of chess and study cross-country differences in the relative success of players. While we find...

Ariga, Ken; Brunello, Giorgio; Iwahashi, Roki; Rocco, … - 2005
Secondary schools in the developed world differ in the degree of differentiation and in the first age of selection of pupils into different tracks. In this paper, we account for the heterogeneity of tracking time with a simple stochastic model which conjugates the returns from specialization...

Educational standards in private and public schools
Brunello, Giorgio (contributor); Rocco, Lorenzo (contributor) - 2005 - Stand: Februar 2005
We show that, when school quality is measured by the educational standard and attaining the standard requires costly effort, secondary education needs not be a hierarchy with private schools offering better quality than public schools, as in Epple and Romano, 1998. An alternative configuration,...
