WELCOME . Do Value - Added Models Add Value ? Tracking , Fixed Effects , and Causal Inference Jesse Rothstein
Researchers conducting non-experimental studies of panel data often attempt to remove the potentially biasing effects of individual heterogeneity through the inclusion of fixed effects. I evaluate so-called Value Added Models (VAMs) that attempt to identify teachers effects on student achievement. I develop falsification tests based on the assumption that teachers in later grades cannot have...
متن کاملDo Specialist Schools Add Value
The impact of different school types on the progress made by their pupils is an important topic, with especial relevance to the ongoing debate about the value of the specialist schools programme (see Chitty, 2001; Croxford, 2001). With the advent of detailed and exhaustive national value-added datasets it would seem that it should be a plain and simple matter to tackle these questions using obj...
متن کاملMethods for Accounting for Co-Teaching in Value-Added Models
ii ABSTRACT Isolating the effect of a given teacher on student achievement (value-added modeling) is complicated when the student is taught the same subject by more than one teacher. We consider three methods, which we call the Partial Credit Method, Teacher Team Method, and Full Roster Method, for estimating teacher effects in the presence of co-teaching. The Partial Credit Method apportions r...
متن کاملAccounting for Intermediates: Production Sharing and Trade in Value Added∗
We combine input-output and bilateral trade data to quantify cross-border production linkages. Using a complete trading system, we compute bilateral trade in value added for 87 countries and regions. The ratio of value added to gross exports is a measure of the intensity of production sharing. Across sectors, manufacturing has a relatively low ratio and thus accounts for a smaller share of expo...
متن کاملDo Return Prediction Models Add Economic Value?∗
We compare statistical and economic measures of forecasting performance across a large set of stock return prediction models with time-varying mean and volatility. We find that it is very common for models to produce higher out-of-sample mean squared forecast errors than a model assuming a constant equity premium, yet simultaneously add economic value when their forecasts are used to guide port...
