Introduction to Econometrics CMD

Class size vs. student achievement Policy question: What is the effect on test scores (or some other outcome measure) of reducing class size by one student per class? by 8 students/class? Data: All K-6 and K-8 California school districts (n = 420) Variables: 5 th grade test scores (Stanford-9 achievement test, combined math and reading), district average Student-teacher ratio (STR) = no. of students in the district divided by no. full-time equivalent teachers
