The effects of mandatory quota policy on employment of disabled workers in Korea: A regression discontinuity design approach
The Effect of Age at First Marriage on Female Fertility: Evidence from Korea’s School Entry Policy Using Exact Date of Birth
Does Knowing Other Workers’ Wage Level Promote Employees’ Pay Fairness Perception? Evidence From a Randomized Survey Experiment
Pay fairness perception is considered a significant determinant of employee turnover. This study analyzes whether public-sector employees’ pay fairness perception is promoted when workers are notified of the wage level of similar employees working in other sectors (i.e., relative wage). A randomized survey experiment was conducted to test the hypothesis that relative wages matter for pay fairness perception. The results show that informing employ…
Promoting student achievement in high school using school funding: Evidence from quantile regression discontinuity design
Causal Impact of School Starting Age on the Tempo of Childbirths: Evidence from Working Mothers and School Entry Cutoff Using Exact Date of Birth
The impact of the school choice policy on student sorting: Evidence from Seoul, South Korea
This article examines the impact of a high school choice policy in Seoul, South Korea on school segregation by student performance levels. Seoul replaced random assignment of high schools with school choice in 2010. By exploiting the policy change, this article examines the effect of the school choice policy on student sorting by ability. Using rich administrative data, this article compares school segregation prior to and following the implement…
Evaluating the Effects of Universal Place‐Based Scholarships on Student Outcomes: The Buffalo “Say Yes to Education” Program
A growing number of cities and states have been providing large tuition subsidies for residents through initiatives often called “place‐based” or “Promise” scholarship programs. We examine the effects of a prominent last‐dollar, place‐based scholarship program, Say Yes to Education in Buffalo, NY, on college matriculation and persistence. Employing a difference‐in‐differences strategy comparing changes across cohorts of students eligible and inel…
Causal Impact of Having a College Degree on Women’s Fertility: Evidence From Regression Kink Designs
An important factor speculated to affect fertility level is education. Theoretical predictions regarding whether education increases or decreases fertility are ambiguous. This study analyzes the causal impact of higher education on fertility using census data administered by Statistics Korea. To account for the endogeneity of education, this study exploits the Korean higher education reform initiated in 1993 that boosted women’s likelihood of gra…
Factors Contributing to the Size of Nonprofit Sector: Tests of Government Failure, Interdependence, and Social Capital Theory
Based on the county-level longitudinal data in the USA, this study finds that racial diversity is positively associated with the nonprofit sector size. We further find that the share of children below poverty level is negatively associated with the size of nonprofit sectors. Our findings support the government failure theory. Random effects models also show that federal funding and local funding are positively associated with the size of nonprofi…
Do Public Employees “Game” Performance Budgeting Systems? Evidence From the Program Assessment Rating Tool in Korea
We examine whether performance budgeting systems such as the Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART) induce public employees to engage in “gaming” behavior. We propose an algorithm for detecting gaming behavior that makes use of the discrete nature of the PART system in Korea (KPART) and the revealed patterns of the distribution of the KPART scores. By employing the test developed by McCrary, we find suspicious patterns in the density of the KPART …
