Abstract

I examine whether the impact of the Great Recession on school district spending, the allocation of resources, and student achievement varied depending on the strength of state’s teachers’ unions. Employing a diff-in-diff-in-diff identification strategy, I find that school districts in states with strong teachers’ unions experienced significantly larger declines in per-pupil expenditures during the economic downtown compared with otherwise similar districts in states with weak teachers’ unions. The larger decline in expenditures in strong union states, however, did not lead to a differential decline in student achievement relative to weak union states.

教师工会对学区财政和学生成绩的影响:来自大衰退的证据
我考察了大衰退对学区支出、资源分配和学生成绩的影响是否因州教师工会的实力而异。采用“难中难中难”的识别策略,我发现,在经济低迷时期,与教师工会薄弱的州的类似学区相比,教师工会强大的州的学区的每名学生支出的下降幅度要大得多。然而,在强大的联盟国家,支出的较大下降并没有导致学生成绩相对于弱联盟国家的差异下降。

期刊介绍: Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis (EEPA) publishes manuscripts of theoretical or practical interest to those engaged in educational evaluation or policy analysis, including economic, demographic, financial, and political analyses of education policies, and significant meta-analyses or syntheses that address issues of current concern. The journal seeks high-quality research on how reforms and interventions affect educational outcomes; research on how multiple educational policy and reform initiatives support or conflict with each other; and research that informs pending changes in educational policy at the federal, state, and local levels, demonstrating an effect on early childhood through early adulthood.
