Good schools or good students? The importance of selectivity for school rankings
This paper uses a rich set of student background characteristics to estimate the value added of second-level schools in Ireland. We show that there is a considerable degree of reranking of schools when we move from analysing raw outcomes to value added; in many cases the best performing schools in raw terms are not the best in value-added terms. We show that, contrary to popular perception, fee-paying schools do not add higher value than other sc…
Minimum wage compliance and household welfare
In many developing countries there is a substantial difference between de jure and de facto regulation of minimum wages. We examine the consequences of this by looking at the heterogenous effects of minimum wages across compliance regimes in India. We show that minimum wages have a positive effect on wages, without a corresponding effect on employment. As a result, household consumption increases following increases in the minimum wage. However, …
How Important are Firms in Explaining Wage Changes During a Recession
During the Great Recession, many Irish workers experienced nominal earnings reductions, with about 50% of private sector employees receiving pay cuts at the height of the crisis. However, at the same time, a substantial minority of workers continued to receive pay increases. In this paper we use a unique dataset containing earnings on every worker in Ireland to examine the relative roles of worker and firm characteristics in explaining this heter…
Measuring obesity in the absence of a gold standard
Exploring the effects of a universal classroom management training programme on teacher and child behaviour
Teachers frequently struggle to cope with conduct problems in the classroom. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of the Incredible Years Teacher Classroom Management Training Programme for improving teacher competencies and child adjustment. The study involved a group randomised controlled trial which included 22 teachers and 217 children (102 boys and 115 girls). The average age of children included in the study was 5.3 years (…
Identification of the covariance structure of earnings using the GMM estimator
The effects of measurement error and omitted variables when using transition matrices to measure intergenerational mobility
Unemployment Duration and the Restart Effect
In this paper we analyse the effect of ihe Restart programme in the United Kingdom. This \nprogramme consisis of an interview of tbe long-term unemployed to counsel them on effective job \nsearch. Failure to attend the interview carries the threat of the cessation of unemployment benefits. \nThe results, using experimental data, indicate that the programme has a significant effect of \nreducing unemployment duration. Estimation of an independent …
Education and Income Growth
This paper examines the extent to which patterns of human capital convergence can account for observed patterns of income inequality between countries. The author decomposes national income into three components: one due to education levels, one reflecting the return to education, and a residual component. He then examines the contribution of each to changes in income dispersion. Among the developed countries, convergence in education levels has …
