  • Teacher Bias and Evaluation Differences in Test Scores

    Open AccessJudith Delaney, Judith M Delaney et al.ARTICLEOxford Bulletin of Economics and…2025

    We study differences in teacher evaluations of student performance relative to those measured by test scores. While much literature is concerned with estimating various types of teacher biases, we show conceptually that there is no single ‘teacher bias’ effect. Even if teachers have no group bias, teacher evaluation differences by group masystematically deviate from test score differences if the distribution of test scores differs across groups. …

  • Levelling the playing field? SES differences in graduate degree choices

    Open AccessJudith Delaney, Paul J DevereuxARTICLEThe Journal of Economic Inequality2025References: 4

    In many countries, subsidies towards higher education and financial assistance to students from poorer backgrounds have reduced socio-economic status (SES) gaps in the types of undergraduate degrees obtained. The increasing importance of graduate studies that are typically more expensive may, however, provide a new avenue for outcome differences by SES. We use administrative data from Ireland that allows us to explore SES differences while taking…

    Open AccessJudith Delaney, Judith M Delaney et al.ARTICLEEconomica2022Cited by: 2References: 26

    Much attention is focused on finding ways to encourage females to study STEM in school and college, but what actually happens once women complete a STEM degree? We use the UK Quarterly Labour Force Survey to trace out gender differences in STEM persistence over the career. We find a continuous process whereby women are more likely to exit STEM than men. Among STEM undergraduate degree holders, women are more likely to obtain a non‐STEM master's d…

  • Educational expansion and overeducation of young graduates

    Judith Delaney, Seamus Mcguinne et al.ARTICLEOxford Review of Education2020

    This study uses quarterly EU Labour Force Survey data for 30 countries over the period 2000 to 2016 to examine the relationship between changes in the composition of educational attainment and overeducation rates among new labour market entrants holding post-secondary and tertiary qualifications. We find that tertiary education expanded rapidly across our sample, while the proportion of young people with lower levels of education fell gradually t…
