Value added of teachers in high-poverty schools and lower poverty schools
Making a difference? The effects of Teach For America in high school
Teach For America (TFA) selects and places graduates from the most competitive colleges as teachers in the lowest‐performing schools in the country. This paper is the first study that examines TFA effects in high school. We use rich longitudinal data from North Carolina and estimate TFA effects through cross‐subject student and school fixed effects models. We find that TFA teachers tend to have a positive effect on high school student test scores…

Political Pressure and Decentralization in Institutional Organizations
Etude de l'impact de la pression politique exterieure sur la distribution de l'influence dans les zones scolaires aux Etats-Unis, notamment sur l'influence exercee par les administrateurs et les enseignants sur la politique scolaire.

Higher Order Skills, Job Design, and Incentives
There is a growing consensus that the curriculum as taught in schools is “out of balance.” Emphasis on basic skills outweighs to a far greater extent than appropriate the emphasis on problem solving and higher order skills. Drawing on ideas about the effects of specialization from behavioral decision theory and on recent work in the economics of organization, this article proposes structural changes in the teaching job to address this problem. Th…

Supply Creates Demands
The common explanation for the expansion of bureaus is based on rationalist reasoning. Bureaus grow because it is in the interest of the central decision makers to have them grow. This article presents a different explanation, drawing on the organizational-processes literature. It argues that administrative growth occurs as a byproduct of managers dealing with more immediate concerns, not because it is pursued for its own value. Part of the expla…
Puzzles, Facts, and Tensions
Managerial Behavior, Uncertainty and Hierarchy
This study investigates the effect of task uncertainty on the initiating and search behavior of managers. Competing theoretical arguments are assessed empirically using data collected by sampling randomly the work activities of 50 managers. The findings show that different arguments hold for upper level managers than hold for lower level managers, suggesting that explanations for managerial behavior solely in terms of manager-task interaction or …
Catholic High Schools and Minority Students
The number of minority students, many of them not Catholic, who have enrolled in Catholic secondary schools is substantial. Since it is reasonable to assume that the cost of tuition in such schools is considerable for a minority family, the phenomenon suggests that parents in these families believe that their children will obtain a better education in Catholic secondary schools. The problem of measuring the effect of Catholic secondary schools on…
