Predicting teacher retention behavior: Ex ante prediction and ex post realization of a voluntary retirement incentive offer
Teacher retention and retirement decisions are increasingly affected by retirement benefits as the date of retirement eligibility approaches. As part of an effort to rein in operating costs, Chicago Public Schools sought to induce earlier retirement of senior, hence costlier, teachers by offering a voluntary retirement incentive that would be implemented only if enough teachers indicated their willingness to accept it. We used a structural model …
Incentivizing Retirement: An Analysis of Cash Retirement Incentives for Chicago Teachers
Retirement incentives are frequently used by school districts facing financial difficulties. They provide a means of either decreasing staff size or replacing retiring senior teachers with less expensive junior teachers. We analyze a one-time retirement incentive in a large school district paid to teachers willing to retire at the end of the 2016–2017 school year that required 1,500 teachers to accept the offer for it to be paid. The analysis use…

Web Surveys as Part of a Mixed-Mode Strategy for Populations that cannot be Contacted by E-Mail
Potential respondents to web surveys are usually contacted by e-mail. For general target populations, e-mail addresses are usually not available. This study explores whether a sequential mixed-mode web/mail strategy can be used for such a population to encourage respondents to choose the web mode. In the authors' sequential mixed-mode web/mail survey, respondents were first encouraged to reply by web and in a follow-up were also offered mail ques…
The Record and Prospects of the All-Volunteer Military in the United States
From the onset of World War II until July 1973, the draft was a fact of life for male youth in the United States. Since then, America's armed forces have been staffed by volunteers. Recent recruiting difficulties have precipitated calls from some quarters for a return to conscription. This paper reviews the economic issues involved in the choice over conscription versus volunteerism and it reviews the volunteer force record in the U. S. Despite r…
Emigration and Its Effects on the Sending Country
Emigration helps to alleviate unemployment in the sending country and increase the incomes of the remaining workers. Also, émigrés often send money home to their families, thereby contributing both to the home economy and to the nations' trade balance.
Do Incentives Matter? The Case of Navy Recruiters
This study examines how Navy recruiters in April-August 1986 responded to a multiperiod incentive plan that included piece rates, quotas, prizes, and standards. Recruiters generally produced more enlistments as they gained experience and as the date of their eligibility for a prize approached. Those with higher past output (who were thus more likely to win a prize), however, produced less as they approached the prize eligibility date. Recruiters …
