Class-size effects in school systems around the world : evidence from between-grade variation in TIMSS

Woessmann, Ludger; West, Martin R. - 2002

We employ a combination of school fixed effects and IV estimation to estimate the effect of class size on student performance in 18 countries. Using the random part of the class-size variation between two adjacent grades within individual schools allows us to identify causal class-size effects....

The growth rate of total factor productivity seems to have increased recently, at least in the United States. Higher US productivity growth may justify higher stock market valuations than in the past and thus herald an emerging New Economy. However, the size of the estimated growth rate of total...

Multinational enterprises, international trade, and productivity growth : firm-level evidence from the United States

Keller, Wolfgang (contributor); … - 2005

We estimate international technology spillovers to U.S. manufacturing firms via imports and foreign direct investment (FDI) between the years of 1987 and 1996. In contrast to earlier work, our results suggest that FDI leads to substantial productivity gains for domestic firms. The size of FDI...

Do multinational enterprises contribute to convergence or divergence? : A disaggregated analysis of US FDI

Mayer-Foulkes, David (contributor); … - 2005

It is a widely held belief that foreign direct investment (FDI) has a positive effect on economic growth. We test this hypothesis by performing convergence regressions derived from a model of endogenous technological change. We estimate the rate of growth in per-capita income, relative to the...

The agricultural and the democratic transitions : causality and the roundup model

Gundlach, Erich; Paldam, Martin - 2009

Long-run development (in income) causes a large fall in the share of agriculture commonly known as the agricultural transition. We confirm that this conventional wisdom is strongly supported by the data. Long-run development (in income) also causes a large increase in democracy known as the...
