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...

Student sorting and bias in value added estimation : Selection on observables and unobservables
Rothstein, Jesse - 2009
Non-random assignment of students to teachers can bias value added estimates of teachers' causal effects.

School Spending and Student Achievement : Using Specification Tests to Eliminate Inconsistent Estimators
Ludwig, Jens - 1998
This paper tests the specification of the typical (and a few atypical) models for estimating the relationship between educational resources and student achievement, using data from the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988. Using specification tests which do not rely upon the existence...
