Can value-added measures of teacher performance be trusted?
Guarino, Cassandra; Reckase, Mark D.; Wooldridge, Jeffrey M. - 2012
We investigate whether commonly used value-added estimation strategies can produce accurate estimates of teacher … potential for misclassifying teachers as high- or low-performing can be substantial. Misspecifying dynamic relationships can … exacerbate estimation problems. However, some estimators are more robust across scenarios and better suited to estimating teacher …

Measurement Error in Income and Schooling, and the Bias of Linear Estimators
Bingley, Paul; Martinello, Alessandro - 2014
The characteristics of measurement error determine the bias of linear estimators. We propose a method for validating economic survey data allowing for measurement error in the validation source, and we apply this method by validating Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) data...

Breaking ties : regression discontinuity design meets market design
Abdulkadiroğlu, Atila; Angrist, Joshua D.; Narita, Yusuke - 2019
Centralized school assignment algorithms must distinguish between applicants with the same preferences and priorities. This is done with randomly assigned lottery numbers, nonlottery tie-breakers like test scores, or both. The New York City public high school match illustrates the latter, using...

Average gaps and Oaxaca-Blinder decompositions : a cautionary tale about regression estimates of racial differences in labor market outcomes
Słoczyński, Tymon - 2018
In this paper I demonstrate, both theoretically and empirically, that the interpretation of regression estimates of between-group differences in economic outcomes depends on the relative sizes of subpopulations under study. When the disadvantaged group is small, regression estimates are similar...
