摘要：Schools often overlook how structuring student and teacher schedules may impact educational outcomes. We analyze the impact of nontraditional school calendars on student and teacher productivity. These calendars differentially allocate mandated instructional time by choosing (1) the number of hours in the school day, (2) the number of school days each year, and (3) the distribution of school days throughout the year. To do this, we use administrative data on over 2 million students and exploit...

摘要：Evaluating the comparative performance of U.S. federal agencies is difficult, particularly since both tasks and missions vary so dramatically. In addition, forces beyond an agency's control (e.g., COVID, an economic downturn, etc.) can determine outcomes even when agencies are performing at a high level. In this paper, we introduce a new approach to measuring organizational performance, something conceptually distinct from, but correlated with, both organizational inputs and outcomes. This mea...

摘要：Since 1990, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) has been the primary benchmark for tracking the progress of state education reform. The focus on math and reading achievement is motivated by the cross-sectional relationship between test scores and adult outcomes, such as earnings and college completion. But do changes in NAEP scores predict changes in long-term economic and social outcomes for future earners-or do they reflect other factors unrelated to earnings such as teach...

摘要：Differential coverage across demographic groups in a census or survey can reduce the accuracy and representativeness of the resulting statistics. Researchers traditionally have used community-level measures to study response behavior and coverage, which can obscure patterns for small population groups. We illustrate this using household-level citizenship and immigration status. We construct household-level characteristics using administrative records for each address in a randomized control tr...

摘要：The broad-based categorical eligibility (BBCE) policy allows states to bypass federal gross income and asset tests for supplemental nutrition assistance program (SNAP) eligibility. Policymakers often propose limiting BBCE's scope or eliminating it altogether. Yet, our understanding of BBCE's impact on SNAP participation has relied solely on static two-way fixed effects (TWFE) estimators, which have been criticized for assuming no treatment effect heterogeneity across states and over time. In t...

摘要：States and localities have passed labor standards to raise the floor on job quality, including mandating employer provision of paid sick leave (PSL). However, contemporary political polarization makes the enactment of national labor standards and of state standards in many states unlikely. Prior literature has examined how labor standards may spill over spatially to affect firms, jobs, and workers in nearby places who are not covered by labor standards. We motivate and empirically examine the ...
