Staggered difference-in-differences in gravity settings : revisiting the effects of trade agreements

Nagengast, Arne J.; Yotov, Yoto - 2023

We nest an extended two-way fixed effect (ETWFE) estimator for staggered difference-in-differences within the structural gravity model. To test the ETWFE, we estimate the effects of regional trade agreements (RTAs). The results suggest that RTA estimates in the current gravity literature may be...

Hanushek, Eric Alan; Woessmann, Ludger - 2009

We provide evidence that the robust association between cognitive skills and economic growth reflects a causal effect of cognitive skills and supports the economic benefits of effective school policy. We develop a new common metric that allows tracking student achievement across countries, over...

Falck, Oliver; Woessmann, Ludger - 2010

School choice research mostly focuses on academic outcomes. Policymakers increasingly view entrepreneurial traits as a non-cognitive outcome important for economic growth. We use international PISA-2006 student-level data to estimate the effect of private-school competition on students’...

Sample selectivity and the validity of international student achievement tests in economic research

Hanushek, Eric Alan; Woessmann, Ludger - 2010

Critics of international student comparisons argue that results may be influenced by differences in the extent to which countries adequately sample their entire student populations. In this research note, we show that larger exclusion and non-response rates are related to better country average...

Cross-country evidence on teacher performance pay

Woessmann, Ludger - 2010

The general-equilibrium effects of performance-related teacher pay include long-term incentive and teacher-sorting mechanisms that usually elude experimental studies but are captured in cross-country comparisons. Combining country-level performance-pay measures with rich PISA-2003 international...
