Effects of Dual-Language Immersion Programs on Student Achievement
Using data from seven cohorts of language immersion lottery applicants in a large, urban school district, we estimate the causal effects of immersion programs on students’ test scores in reading, mathematics, and science and on English learners’ (EL) reclassification. We estimate positive intent-to-treat (ITT) effects on reading performance in fifth and eighth grades, ranging from 13% to 22% of a standard deviation, reflecting 7 to 9 months of le…
Partner‐Language Learning Trajectories in Dual‐Language Immersion
Research has demonstrated that students in dual‐language immersion programs perform as well as, or better than, their peers in core academic content areas by late elementary school. However, the extent to which immersion education fosters bilingualism has received less attention in the literature. Using data from a four‐year efficacy study of dual‐language immersion education in the Portland Public Schools in Oregon, this study reports the skill …

Explaining African Coups d'Etat
Comparative political analysts seek empirical generalizations which will hold water across systems and over a period of time. Yet, modeling important political phenomena over more than a handful of countries is still rather unusual. One focus for substantial comparative research has been the coup d'état-an irregular change of governmental leadership by force-in African countries. Scholars who have engaged in this research find they have various c…
The Triumph of School Reform
Explaining African Military Coups d'Etat, 1960-1982
The purpose of this article is to contribute to the theoretical understanding of African military coups d'etat. We begin by replicating a well-known model (Jackman, 1978) that purports to identify the structural determinants of coups d'etat within the states of Sub-Saharan Black Africa. When the research problem is changed slightly to focus exclusively on military coups, we find major weaknesses in the original Jackman model. We then extend and r…
