  • U.S. School Segregation in the 21St Century Causes, Consequences, and Solutions
    equitablegrowth.org REPORT: INEQUALITY & MOBILITY U.S. school segregation in the 21st century Causes, consequences, and solutions October 2019 Will McGrew The Washington Center for Equitable Growth is a non-profit research and grantmaking organization dedicated to advancing evidence-backed ideas and policies that promote strong, stable, and broad-based economic growth. Our fundamental questions have been whether and how economic inequality—in all its forms—affects economic growth and stability, and what policymakers can do about it. We work to build a strong bridge between academics and policymakers to ensure that research on equitable growth and inequality is relevant, accessible, and informative to the policymaking process. And we have the support and counsel of a steering committee that comprises lead- ing scholars and former government officials. Members have included Melody Barnes, Alan Blinder, Raj Chetty, Janet Currie, Jason Furman, John Podesta, Emmanuel Saez, and Robert Solow. Since our founding in 2013, we have funded the work of more than 150 schol- ars and built a broader network through our working papers series, events, and convenings. By supporting research and bringing these scholars together to exchange ideas, we have learned a great deal and advanced a broad range of evidence-based policy approaches to addressing economic inequality and delivering broad-based economic growth to communities and families.

  • Scaling up Boston's Charter School Sector
    EdWorkingPaper No. 19-61 Can Successful Schools Replicate? Scaling Up Boston’s Charter School Sector Sarah Cohodes Elizabeth Setren Christopher R. Walters Columbia University Tufts University UC Berkeley Can schools that boost student outcomes reproduce their success at new campuses? We study a policy reform that allowed effective charter schools in Boston, Massachusetts to replicate their school models at new locations. Estimates based on randomized admission lotteries show that replication charter schools generate large achievement gains on par with those produced by their parent campuses. The average effectiveness of Boston’s charter middle school sector increased after the reform despite a doubling of charter market share. An exploration of mechanisms shows that Boston charter schools reduce the returns to teacher experience and compress the distribution of teacher effectiveness, suggesting the highly standardized practices in place at charter schools may facilitate replicability.

  • What Can We Learn About Neighborhood Effects from the Moving to Opportunity Experiment?1
    What Can We Learn about Neighborhood Effects from the Moving to Opportunity Experiment?1 Jens Ludwig Jeffrey B. Liebman University of Chicago Harvard University Jeffrey R. Kling Greg J. Duncan Brookings Institution University of California, Irvine Lawrence F. Katz Ronald C. Kessler Harvard University Harvard Medical School Lisa Sanbonmatsu National Bureau of Economic Research Experimental estimates from Moving to Opportunity (MTO) show no significant impacts of moves to lower-poverty neighborhoods on adult economic self-sufficiency four to seven years after random assignment. The authors disagree with Clampet-Lundquist and Massey’s claim that MTO was a weak intervention and therefore uninformative about neighborhood effects. MTO produced large changes in neighborhood environments that improved adult mental health and many outcomes for young females. Clampet-Lundquist and Massey’s claim that MTO experimental estimates are plagued by selection bias is erroneous. Their new nonexperimental estimates are uninformative because they add back the selection problems that MTO’s experimental design was intended to overcome.

  • The Final Evaluation Will Include the Full Program Population (4,604 Families)
    Part B: Collection of Information Employing Statistical Methods B.1 Respondent Universe and Sampling Methods Universe of Core Households and Final Evaluation Sample The purpose of the MTO final impact evaluation is to assess the effect of the experimental treatment on the lives of participants on average between 10 and 12 years after the time of random assignment. The final evaluation will include the full program population (4,604 families). Universe of Core Household Members Within the 4,604 core households that are the sample for the final evaluation, there are 17,000 members ranging in age (measured at the end of calendar year 2007) from 10 to over 100. The core household membership is fixed by definition, since core household members are those who lived with the MTO applicant during the process of Section 8 eligibility determination prior to MTO random assignment. Core members are those members of the family who were identified as planning to move together if awarded a voucher or certificate through the MTO program. Thus, core household membership is exogenous to the experiment (that is, not affected by which of the three MTO mobility groups to which an applicant was randomly assigned), while current household composition is not (since MTO assignments could for example affect the propensity of MTO applicants to be married or live with other relatives). Through passive tracking, the 1997 and 2000 MTO canvasses, and the 2002 Interim survey, data are available on the whereabouts of nearly all core household members. Sampling of youth for the final evaluation will be carried out regardless of where they are located (including those who are no longer living with the original MTO adult applicant), and arrangements will be made to test and interview youth wherever they are currently living.
