Are we wasting our children's time by giving them more homework?
Eren, Ozkan; Henderson, Daniel J. - 2011
examine the effect of homework on math, science, English and history test scores for eighth grade students in the United … States. Noting that failure to control for these effects yields selection biases on the estimated effect of homework, we find … that math homework has a large and statistically meaningful effect on math test scores throughout our sample. However …

Assessing the Effect of Schooling on Earnings Using a Social Experiment
Meghir, Costas; Palme, Mårten - Economics Institute for Research (SIR), … - 1999
The implementation of the 1950 Swedish comprehensive school reform was preceded by a unique social experiment. During this experiment between 1949 and 1962 the new school system was implemented in stages. This allows us to study the same cohort of individuals going through two different school...

The effects of the bologna process on college enrollment and drop-out rates
Horstschräer, Julia; Sprietsma, Maresa - 2010
This paper estimates the short-term effects of the introduction of the Bachelor degree in the framework of the Bologna Process on college enrollment and drop-out rates. We use variation in the timing of the Bachelor implementation at the department level to identify the effect of the reform...

¿La localización de la escuela importa?. Condicionantes espacio-contextuales de la tasa de repitencia en un panel de datos georreferenciados.
Herrera Gómez, Marcos - 2016
Many studies have examined the determinants of the grade repetition at different levels (student, school, country) without considering the geographical-social environment of school localization. This work uses a panel data of 220 primary schools with georeferenced information, between years 2008...

The Faster the Better? The Effect of Ultra-Fast Broadband on Students' Performance
Cambini, Carlo; Sabatino, Lorien; Zaccagni, Sarah - 2021
In this paper, we study the impact of ultra-fast broadband (UBB) access on student performance. These networks are based on optical fiber, allowing significantly higher speed compared to traditional copper-line connections. Our empirical analysis leverages on a unique dataset that combines...

Estimating and testing a quantile regression model with interactive effects
Harding, Matthew; Lamarche, Carlos - 2012
This paper proposes a quantile regression estimator for a panel data model with interactive effects potentially correlated with the independent variables. We provide conditions under which the slope parameter estimator is asymptotically Gaussian. Monte Carlo studies are carried out to...
